Academics

Penn State University offers over 280 undergraduate degrees, and over 170 graduate/doctoral degrees, combined across University Park and the Commonwealth Campuses.

Admissions
Penn State does not require a set minimum GPA or a minimum standardized test score, instead prospective students are given a range of GPA and scores from previously admitted students to judge their eligibility. Prospective students are also considered based on other attributes and information, such as the admissions essay and goals of the student. You can access the current admissions requirements and ranges here.
