INFO SESSION ON JAN 8th FOR THE TWO-WEEK STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM

This summer we're hosting two study abroad programs in the Netherlands. Our two-week program focuses on university students, and our one-week program is geared towards professionals in their career.

Join us for our first information session (in person only) on the two-week student study abroad program to learn more about the day-to-day activities and tours in the Netherlands. After a twenty-minute presentation from the program instructor John MacArthur, there will be plenty of time to ask any questions you have about the program, application process, and travel plans. Applications are now open!

OVERVIEW OF THE TWO-WEEK STUDENT STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM (JUNE 21 - JULY 4, 2020)

Hosted by TREC, this four-credit PSU study abroad program (CE 495 / 595) presents an introduction to sustainable transportation and land use applications in the Dutch context. The course creates an immersive experience to explore the Dutch approach to cycling, transit, innovative mobility and land use. The curriculum will feature material that provides a comparison between U.S. and the Netherlands problems, priorities, and solutions. Specific emphases on planning and engineering principles, policy, and practice will be explored through field trips, tours and guest lectures, while visiting Utrecht, Amsterdam, Delft, and Houten. Students completing this course will develop a broader understanding of sustainable transportation issues and expand their toolkit for context-sensitive solutions. This study abroad program will examines how the urban areas and transportation systems of that nation have been designed to promote transportation by foot, bicycle, and public transportation.
