We'd like to see this grow even more. We are internationalizing our curriculum in many ways. Many of our undergraduate majors have an international component. All of the programs in our College of Business Administration have an international option that requires study abroad. Other undergraduate majors with an international component include dual engineering and language degrees, international agriculture, international communications, information sciences and technology, and a range of cultural, literature, and political studies.
Study abroad is another area of priority.
Worldwide, there are about 1.5 million international students. About one third study in the United States. Less than 10 percent are students from the United States. Clearly, as a nation, we trail here and have much to learn from our international colleagues. We are hoping to increase substantially over the next five years the number of Penn State students who study abroad, from more than 900 this year to more than 1,500.
