Commonwealth Campuses



The Commonwealth campuses are spread throughout Pennsylvania. The hub for all the geographically-dispersed campuses is the main campus located at University Park. The commonwealth campuses make up roughly 40% of Penn State's undergraduate student population.

Organization
Presently, the administrative structure enacted by the Penn State Board of Trustees in 2005, the satellite campuses are overseen by the Vice President for Commonwealth campuses. Each campus is led by a chancellor who reports to the Vice President.

Some of the Penn State's Commonwealth campus system does not have "college' status and are referred to collectively as the University College. These campuses does have their own chancellor, but they report to the Dean of the University College, which is a position held by the Vice President for Commonwealth campuses.
