Penn College

Pennsylvania College of Technology became an affiliate of The Pennsylvania State University in 1989, after establishing a national reputation for education supporting workforce development, first as a technical institute and later as a community college.

Today, Penn College is a special mission affiliate of Penn State, committed to applied technology education.

Conveniently located in Williamsport (Central Pennsylvania), Penn College attracts the second-highest enrollment in the Penn State system; over 6,400 students are enrolled in associate- and bachelor-degree programs relating to more than 100 different career areas.


In addition, Penn College manages the state's largest worker training program through its Workforce Development and Continuing Education unit.
