Our cutting-edge facilities are where learning, creating, and innovating happen. We believe providing top-of-the-line equipment gives you the best pathway for success.
There’s lots to love about our home in Williamsport like an awesome downtown plus the College-owned performing arts venue, art gallery, and casual fine-dining restaurant.
We acknowledge that the land on which we live, work, and learn is the ancestral home of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee, Iroquoian-speaking Susquehannocks, and the Lenni Lenape (Delaware). We too recognize their Woodland period ancestors. We are grateful for their stewardship and management of this land over thousands of years and promote this recognition in honor and respect of that caretaking.
As a special mission affiliate of Penn State, our role is clear—to deliver transformative hands-on education that will spark meaningful opportunities for our graduates and the industries within our commonwealth.
Penn College is proud to partner with Advocate Penn State to form a group of like-minded activists committed to building the best possible future. We value your connection to Penn College and hope you'll join our efforts to educate and engage elected officials at various levels of government.
