At Penn State, how is a “campus” different from a “college”?
Colleges at Penn State should not be confused with campuses: Campuses: Where students take classes, and in many cases reside. We have 20 undergraduate campuses. Colleges: A college grants the degree once those courses are completed. We have 11 colleges at Penn State University Park and 6 others throughout Pennsylvania. Most degree-seeking Penn State students attend a campus and are enrolled in a college. Listing of Campuses and Colleges.
