Aurora Dutton, agricultural and extension education major and Daval Patel, electrical engineering major share their experience in the 2+2 program at Penn State Scranton.
Some students choose to remain at one campus for all four years, while other students spend their first two years at one campus and transition to University Park or another campus for their remaining two years. The vast majority of the University's majors can be completed in this manner. We call this the 2 + 2 plan, and it is the most common path for a Penn State degree (about 60% of Penn State students opt for this path in a typical year).

I like Penn State Scranton because it's a close knit community. I've been able to work closer with professors and get to know my classmates better. Being able to do this helps with getting support whenever I need and just build genuine connections.
Why the 2+2 option.
Getting started at Penn State Scranton affords you many great advantages. Your academic experience will be supported by small classes, a close-knit learning environment, and faculty who are experts in their fields. Our campus provides the opportunity for participation in athletics, activities, and student organizations. You will have access to the resources of a rigorous, world-class university in a welcoming, comfortable environment. You will work closely with an academic adviser to choose a course of study that will seamlessly transition to University Park or another campus, where you will begin your upper-division (junior- and senior-year) course work.
