UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Nearly 100 Penn State students spent their spring breaks traveling the globe through five College of the Liberal Arts embedded programs, which are Penn State courses taken on campus or online that include a short-term international travel component. The students saw the classroom come to life by visiting historical and cultural sites and interacting with local people.

Students enrolled in KOR 497 had the opportunity to travel to Seoul, South Korea, as part of the Immersive Korean Language and Culture Spanning Generations and Lifestyles embedded program in the College of the Liberal Arts. The trip, which was led by Jayoung Song, assistant professor of Korean and applied linguistics, and Lan Kim, associate teaching professor of Korean and coordinator of the Korean language program, allowed students to further their Korean language skills, try local South Korean customs and food and explore the city of Seoul.
