Admissions

Penn State Beaver offers seven baccalaureate degrees and seven minors that can be earned here, as well as a nursing degree completion program for RNs. Students who want to major in most of Penn State's other 275 majors can start at Beaver then transition to another campus for their last two years.

Our beautiful 105-acre campus is located close to both Pittsburgh International Airport and the cultural offerings of downtown Pittsburgh. Our athletics teams have won national and conference titles.
