Penn State Scranton has a first-rate faculty. Many are nationally known in their disciplines, and they bring exciting new developments from their fields into the classroom. The Penn State Scranton faculty is also at the forefront of a national trend to bring hands-on active learning techniques to the classroom.

Penn State Scranton faculty support student engagement by incorporating internships, service-learning, and community involvement into their courses and programs. These engagement experiences provide collaborative and active learning opportunities that allow students to build community and civic relationships extending beyond their undergraduate career.

Penn State Scranton’s facilities are continuously expanding and advancing to meet curricular and student needs. 

The David and Ann Hawk Student Success Center brings together tutoring services with financial aid information and career counseling, as well as health and wellness services.

The campus Library provides access to an outstanding collection of books, periodicals, and databases throughout the Penn State University library system and beyond.

The Business Building is complete with a Wall Street-style trading room including double-screen desk trading computers and a Wall Street digital ticker-tape.

Computing resources for undergraduates at the Penn State Scranton Campus are first-rate. We provide both general-use and specialized labs for our major programs.

Penn State Scranton also offers a wide array of student activities including student government, student clubs, varsity team sports and intramural athletics.

This unique combination of academics and social opportunities are hallmarks of a first-rate learning environment.

There are close to a half million living Penn State graduates in the United States alone. The Penn State Alumni Association is also second to none with a worldwide network of more than 160,000 dues-paying members.
