Study Abroad Procedure
Students interested in studying abroad should begin planning at least one year in advance. Each student considering studying abroad should complete the following first three steps (in order):
- Attend a Penn Abroad 101 session (dates and times can be found at http://www.upenn.edu/oip)
- Meet with the appropriate academic advisor in the Wharton Undergraduate Division
- Meet with the appropriate advisor at the Office of International Programs (OIP) at 3701 Chestnut Street, Suite 1W.
In addition to completing the preceding steps, students must maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and achieve a minimum 3.0 term GPA for the two semesters (excluding summer) prior to the abroad semester.
Wharton students should be aware of the policy regarding credit for business courses taken abroad: Credit for business courses will ONLY be given if the course has been taken at one of the Wharton-approved study abroad sites (listed below). Students will NOT receive credit for business courses taken through any other study abroad program. Business courses taken abroad cannot count towards a concentration.
For more information, visit Penn Abroad.
Wharton students may attend either a Penn-approved program in which only liberal arts and science courses may be taken or a Wharton-approved program in which the business courses directly satisfy business curricular requirements.
