Polish Studies at University of Pennsylvania

The Institution

The University of Pennsylvania is a historic Ivy League school with highly selective admissions. Polish Studies at this university are limited to elementary and intermediate language instruction and a Study Abroad program at the Warsaw School Of Economics.

Study abroad in Poland

Warsaw School Of Economics: For the twelfth year, Penn Summer Abroad offers an exciting program in Warsaw, Poland. Courses (in English) will be taught by the faculty of the Warsaw School of Economics (formerly Central School of Planning and Statistics), the largest and oldest economic university in Poland. The main goal of the program is to acquaint students with the social, economic and political problems of the country in transition from the totalitarian to the democratic system, both through courses and through personal experience. Class instruction is complemented by visits to such places as the Ministry of Finance, the Parliament, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Presidential Palace and the National Bank of Poland as well as short-term internships with American or joint venture institutions.@
