Online learning furthers students’ dreams no matter where they are

by Penn State

So far this year, more than 600 students from 85 countries are enrolled in Penn State through the World Campus. Students are spread across six continents in countries such as Japan, Germany, Zimbabwe and Papua New Guinea. “I think I wouldn’t have made it without Penn State,” said Fernando Ribeiro, who is pursuing a master’s degree in positive psychology. “Education is one of the most important things, especially in the work that I do.” In the suburbs of Pretoria, South Africa, World Campus student Adriaan Van der Merwe is halfway through completing a bachelor’s degree in turfgrass management while working and being a husband and the father of a 5-year-old son.
