Academics

Penn State New Kensington is only 17 miles from downtown Pittsburgh and all of the sports, arts, and cultural events it offers.

Whether you start the first two years of one of Penn State’s 275+ majors with us, or you complete one of our 10 baccalaureate or four associate degrees entirely here, at Penn State New Kensington you’ll have the advantage of smaller classes and one-on-one interaction with award-winning faculty.

The 2+2 Plan

At Penn State, students have the opportunity to start their major at one campus and transition to another campus to finish it. We call this the "2+2 Plan," and, with more than half of our students choosing this path each year, it's the most common path to a Penn State degree. Learn more!
