State, founded in 1855, is a public, comprehensive university. Programs
are offered through the Colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Architecture,
Business Administration, Communications, Earth and Mineral Sciences, Education, Engineering, Health
and Human Development, Liberal Arts, and Science. Its 6,138-acre campus
is located in University Park, 70 miles northwest of Harrisburg.
Penn State is a multi-campus land-grant university serving the citizens
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the world through high-quality
programs in teaching, research and service. The University enrolls more
than 80,000 students at 24 campus locations statewide, including more
than 40,000 at its flagship University Park campus in State
College. Penn State's instructional mission includes undergraduate, graduate and continuing
and distance education informed by scholarship and research. The University
also holds a unique responsibility for outreach and public service
to support the commonwealth, and engages in collaborative activities with
industrial, educational and agricultural partners around the world to disseminate
and apply knowledge. As the largest non-governmental economic engine in
Pennsylvania, Penn State annually generates more than $6 billion in
direct economic impact to the commonwealth and supports more than
60,000 total jobs. The University also influences an additional $6.9
billion indirectly each year through business services, research commercialization and
the activities of alumni for a total of more than
$13 billion in annual economic impact in Pennsylvania. Boasting one
of the largest graduate schools, the University is a leader
in engaging students in landmark research. More than $2 million
in research activity takes place at Penn State each day.
Opportunities for discovery extend beyond the graduate school, as Penn
State undergraduates have the rare opportunity to conduct significant research
that advances and serves the nation in important ways. Undergraduates
assist world-class faculty in developing new emerging technologies. Research at
Penn State is enhanced through the University's membership in the
Worldwide Universities Network, a consortium of research Universities that collaborate
on research primarily focused in science, technology and engineering. This
partnership is an example of the University's continued efforts to
expand the breadth and scope of its collaborations, making Penn
State a truly global University. Coupled with this commitment to
research is the University's remarkable dedication to undergraduate teaching. This
is part of an ongoing emphasis toward making Penn State
an even more student-centered university. Through its research and teaching,
and by providing opportunities for leadership and civic engagement, Penn
State is educating students to make an important difference in
today's global community. Location/Contact
