Penn State York is one of more than twenty Penn State campuses statewide. It is a student-centered campus of approximately 700 students; about 10% are adult learners. The coursework for the first two years of more than 275 Penn State baccalaureate majors is offered, as well as twelve baccalaureate degrees and five associate degrees which may be completed on our campus. Penn State York is located in southcentral Pennsylvania, approximately two hours from Washington, DC or Philadelphia. The campus rests on 51 acres, overlooking the historic city of York. Students and faculty at Penn State York have all of the resources of a major research university at their disposal, but in a small college atmosphere.

Our faculty members are committed to providing a high-quality educational experience to their students and are actively engaged in research. Our students receive a world-class education delivered in a small campus setting and have many opportunities to participate in undergraduate research projects supervised by faculty members.
