We are Penn State online. Penn State World Campus offers more than 100 accredited graduate degrees, undergraduate degrees, certificates, and minors. These online programs are taught by the same faculty who teach in the academic colleges at Penn State — your degree or certificate is the same one that our on-campus students receive. Choose from a wide range of topics at all program levels and start earning your Penn State degree or certificate online. Explore available programs by topic area, or proceed directly to the graduate or undergraduate listings.
Penn State World Campus offers a variety of online degree and certificate programs. The topic areas are organized to help you identify an undergraduate or graduate online degree or certificate by the subject area that interests you the most.
World Campus is proud to offer scholarship opportunities to first-time or returning undergraduate degree students. Some scholarships have specific criteria, such as military branch or specific geographical location. Other scholarships seek to award adult students, or students in specific majors. All scholarships are for both full-time and part-time students. The World Campus scholarships require students to have financial need (as determined by the FAFSA) and a GPA of 2.0 or better. (Penn State employees receiving the educational benefit are not eligible to receive these scholarships.)
When World Campus first opened in 1998, taking university courses online and earning a degree were still relatively new concepts. Today, you can earn your degree online from countless sources. So what makes Penn State World Campus different?
Penn State World Campus is the online campus of Penn State. Grounded in a tradition of quality since 1855, a degree from Penn State means something. Penn State is a nationally recognized institution, with the largest* alumni network in the nation.
Our online courses are the same courses that we offer on campus. Therefore, your diploma will look no different from the one earned by students on our physical campus. It will not differentiate the method of delivery or state that your degree was earned online.
Our programs are also accredited through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Many of our individual programs have additional accreditations through governing bodies in those particular fields of study.
For more than 150 years we’ve been leaders in higher education, as shown by rankings from those who monitor academe from the outside. Here are a few examples of recent rankings, primarily relating to our academic standing.
