International Initiatives

  • Embedded Courses
    The Center for Learning Excellence provides administrative support for faculty teaching courses with an overseas field trip.
  • Recruitment
    We advertise embedded courses in weekly information sessions, in First-Year Seminars, on our digital signage, and by posting course brochures on our website and hard copies in the center.
  • Risk Management
    We ensure completion of required documentation and compliance with Penn State policies.
  • Scholarships
    Penn State Global offers travel grants to faculty for various internationalization activities, including developing new embedded courses. Need-based student scholarships are available through the college and Penn State Global. Developing an embedded course requires approval by the program chair, school director, and academic dean. For more information, contact the center.
  • Program Development
    We assist in the development of international exchanges, internship exchanges, articulation agreements, and grant administration. We manage all aspects of program operation, including monitoring exchange balances and student support.
  • The Fulbright Program
    The center is the contact for Fulbright Program information for faculty and students.
