Gain a Nationally Recognized Education
According to a Gallup poll, Penn State has been ranked as the 11th best college or university in the United States. In the eastern United States, Penn State ranked 4th, behind Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
This means your education will be easily recognized and held in high regard anywhere in the nation.
Connect with Classmates
You'll interact with dedicated, goal-oriented peers, creating an atmosphere of high expectations and great cooperation and allowing you to build a network of contacts in your field. You'll also gain insights that you can apply to your job immediately as you communicate daily with your instructor and other students.
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 offer technical support.
Definitely Not Your Hometown Library
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.
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 received high satisfaction ratings in terms of course content and student services.
