Experience That Counts
Penn State has more than 100 years of experience in catering to the needs of adult students in distance education. Our support systems are designed for students who are geographically removed from campus, and our offerings have always received high satisfaction ratings in terms of course content and student services.
Support at Your Fingertips
Since many adult students must balance work and study, we provide extended hours for the support services you need, and you do not have to set foot on campus. Student advising and help with course scheduling and registration are available from World Campus Student Services. World Campus HelpDesk personnel are available to give you technical support when you need it most.
Convenient Access to Library Resources
You will be able to access one of the leading university research libraries in North America—Penn State's University Libraries system, which holds nearly 5 million volumes and more than 58,000 serial subscriptions. You can easily search the online catalog and review the databases of any library in the Penn State system.
