You want a study abroad experience that is affordable and safe, but you also 
deserve an experience that is going to be beneficial for you academically.

You, and your teachers, counselors, or mentors, might have concerns about falling behind in school or might wonder how this experience will benefit your academic journey. Many different studies have shown that studying abroad boosts students’ GPAs and graduation rates.

Through Carpe Mundi, you’ll earn college credit. Past Carpe Mundi students have transferred credits back to their Community College, continued to PSU, or transferred to other universities across the state and country.

The best part (in our opinion) is that Carpe Mundi programs are experiential education based. Like we shared before, you won’t be sitting in a classroom to earn those credits. Instead, you’ll be out in the world, learning hands-on through volunteering and living with host families. It’s the best of both worlds, earn college credit while doing something completely different!

What makes Carpe Mundi unique is that you’ll receive a year of mentorship, before and after your travels. We’ll support you in your academic journey with whatever you may need: One-on-one tutoring, empowering you to advocate for yourself in academic spaces, helping you pick your classes, and teaching you strategies for academic success.

Overall, past Carpe Mundi students have reported feeling more confident in their decision-making skills, more free to learn and grow, and more skilled in accessing the resources they need to be successful in higher education. Your experience with Carpe Mundi won’t be an “extra” or a “distraction” from your education, it will make your education whole. 

If you have more questions about credits or how this fits in with your future career goals, let us know. We're happy to chat more.
