- 44,000 undergraduate students at University Park campus
- 13 campuses statewide (7 closing fall 2027)
- Students need to put 2 alternate campus options on their app: Behrend, Harrisburg, and Abington (close to Philly) are still very big (4K-14K students); Altoona offers a bus to home football games
- 14:1 student-faculty ratio but large gen ed classes
- I love how the admissions rep said , “if large classes are not your jam, this is not the place for you. Full stop”
- His son had 283 students in his intro math class and 13 students in his smallest class - all his first semester. (This is very similar to my daughter’s experience at UConn)
- 85% six-year graduation rate, 92% first-to-second year retention
- 275+ degree programs available
- Two-plus-two program: start at smaller campus, finish at University Park
- No reapplication required, seamless transition
