Study Abroad Programs

Students in Penn State Architectural Engineering program may participate in a number of study abroad programs to expand the education of our students. Study abroad is encouraged, but optional. The impact on the students target graduation date varies with each program.

Our most popular program is the departments student exchange with Leeds University in Leeds, England. This program allows AE students to travel to Leeds in the Fall of their 4th year and gain valuable educational and cultural experience without negatively impacting their progress in the AE program.

Another popular student abroad program available to students is the Rome, Italy summer program. This program is offered by the Architecture Department in the summers. Participation in the program during one of the summers does not adversely impact the student’s progress in the AE program and provides the necessary credits for an Architectural Studies Minor

Student can also participate in other study abroad programs arranged through the International Programs Office at Penn State. There are numerous study abroad opportunities with Universities around the world. The impact on the student’s graduation date varies with each program.
