Admissions requirements:

2.Students must complete an AA or AS transfer degree program, be in good standing, free of probation, and are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Criteria for transfer admission may also include successful completion of specific course requirements. GPAs are recalculated to include all courses and grades, including all repeated courses, from all colleges/universities previously attended

3.To apply to Penn State submit the Penn State undergraduate admissions application and send official transcripts from high school, Lackawanna College and any other colleges or universities attended to:

Evaluation of transfer credits:

Lackawanna College and Penn State University faculty evaluated equivalent courses at both institutions to create specific program-to-program transfer guides. Each transfer guide outlines the specific course equivalencies and approved substitutions for each academic program included in the agreement.

For credits to transfer, students must earn grades of C or higher in each course to be added to their Penn State academic transcript by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Transferability of courses not specified in the guides will be reviewed by the University College on a case-by-case basis.

An admissions counselor can provide you with the guide for programs you may be considering.
