If you qualify for one of the programs, you amid study in such far away places as: Olso, Norway, or Lima, Peru. To be eligible for a foreign study program the student must be - a sophomore, have at least a 2.5 average and meet the requirements of the specific program. The 10 week foreign study programs cost the same as a term at Penn State with an added $35 for the program fee and traveling expenses. Twelve-week programs have an added extra room and board fee for the extra two weeks of study. There are 13 foreign studies programs pfesently offered. Six programs are general study programs and open to students of all colleges and seven are specialized programs for majois in a particular field. The general programs include three 12-week programs in Cologne, Germany; Strasbourg, France; and Salamanca, Spain. These programs are taught by native professors in the language of the country. Students take 12 credits of art history, language, the humanities and social sciences. Pam Parker (10th-Spanish) went to Salamanca last spring. "I found it more work than here," Parker said. "We had to concentrate more since everything was taught in Spanish." Yvonne Wods (9th-Secondary Education with a French and Spanish option) went to Strasbourg. She said, "I thought the prograin was very worthwhile. I knew so little about Europe. It broadened my outlook of the world." Frank Smith ( loth-pre-medicine) described his experiences in Cologne as: "I think we changed the view of the stereotyped American who just sees buildings. They could see that Americans could really be integrated info their culture. This is the best type of foreign relations for America." Cologne II is a 10-week program taught by German professors in English. It is open to all students but it em phasizes international business and economic courses. Ross Frantz ( loth-finance) went on the Cologne II program. The program taught me to understand people and to be more patient with people here at home," he said. . g i ro REms - A - INsuRVIRE TAM.
