The dates of the third trimester typically run from April through mid to late June. Leiden university courses available in English vary from year to year. The current course book is housed in the international education library in 222 Boucke Building on the University Park campus. When viewing Leiden course materials, note that Leiden University limits enrollment to 18-23 Leiden credits for the program. Approval of Course Selection Courses to be taken at Leiden must be selected in advance with the aid of the student's academic adviser.
Participants choose appropriate courses from the curriculum.
The Leiden program is open to all regularly enrolled students at Penn State, although the curriculum is especially appropriate for students majoring within the College of the Liberal Arts. A 3.2 cumulative grade point average is the minimum standard for this program. Applicants must be in good academic standing, and must show evidence of maturity, stability, adaptability, self-discipline, and strong academic motivation. Single rooms are the standard format with shared kitchens, bathrooms, and common rooms. Participants apply for housing during the semester prior to departure.
