University Park Campus
Penn State students who are attending one of the 19 Penn State Commonwealth Campuses and participating in 2+2 program with plans to attend Penn State University Park to finish their degree are invited to attend.
If you have questions specific to your major, we suggest you make an appointment with your Academic College/Department. When visiting with the academic college/department, you should arrange for your visit to either end by 10:30 a.m. so you can be in Shields Building by 11:00 a.m. for the tour, or for the college visit to begin after 1:30 p.m.
Discover. Engage. Grow.
