The following paragraphs contain pertinent information to
make all students aware of Penn State's Study Abroad programs,
which are sponsored by the Office of Foreign Studies, 211-212
Engineering C, University Park.
The University's study abroad programs, which are open to
students of all colleges in the University, enable students to
enrich their on-campus studies through an academic experience
and crosscultural contacts in a foreign country. (Especially
encouraged to participate are students majoring in Political
-icien,ce, sociology, art history and languages).
In order to meet the needs of students with different
language backgrounds, Penn State study programs have been
established in the University of Strausbourg (France), Cologne
(Germany), Salamanca (Spain), Rome (Italy), and San Jose
(Costa Rica). The University has entered into a cooperative
relationship with these above-mentioned universities to establish
general studies programs involving courses of study in the
humanities and in the social sciences developed especially for
Penn State juniors to provide elective credit in these areas. These
courses are taught by foreign professors in the foreign language
(except in Rome, where instruction is conducted in English) and
focus upon pertinent aspects of the history and the social,
political, economic, and educational systems of the host country.
All students will be required to include foreign language
instruction in their study programs.
In addition, specialized programs have been established for
students majoring in architecture, art history, communications,
c..cliteation, fine art, and lancscape architecture. These programs
sponsOred by academic departments. Eligible students who
wish to apply should contact the appropriate department.
No transfer of credit is necessary since students remain
registered at the Pennsylvania State University.

could see in the eyes of the
children, the Penn State
celebration of Christmas was a
prosperous and merry one for
all.

the costs of a term at Penn State, with the addition of round-trip
travel and a program fee of $35.

function: field trips.
Livii. ti rangements: Every effort will be made to avoid the
isolation of Penn State students as a spearate group. Direct'
contact with pie and their culture will be an important
phase of the i"t' ' yrk'"s 'ms. It is planned that students will
reside in private s ;:.ad in University dormitories. Homes will
be carefully s in order to provide satisfactory living
arrangements. In ,me, however it is planned that students will
reside in a carefully selected pensions or boarding house. Parents
and students should be aware, however, that there will not be the
same type of supervision of the living arrangements which is
available at the University Park campus. Students will be
responsible for the arrangement of their person and conduct to a
much greater extent than is customary at Penn State.

standing, and must show evidence of maturity, stability,
