Penn State is one of the largest universities in the US. It offers more than 160 undergraduate degree programs and a similar number of postgraduate qualifications while conducting more than $800 million-worth of research every year. The majority of students are based on the main campus, University Park, located in the center of the state.
Penn State has two law schools, as well as the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, which treats more than 1 million patients every year.

All this growth was unimaginable when Penn State began in 1855, as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania.
