Welcome to our School´s home page. We are a small school with about 450 undergraduates and 300 graduate students. We are part of Penn State, a large, well-known public research university. We have the infrastructure and resources of a large research university with the ambiance of a small college. Our classes are small and are taught by well-trained faculty members.
We are a quality institution with clear vision and purpose. The school is accredited at the undergraduate and graduate level by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. Fewer than 400 of the 1,200 colleges and universities in the United States offering undergraduate or graduate business degrees are accredited by AACSB.
One of America’s most provocative public intellectuals, Cornel West has been a champion for racial justice since childhood.
As a boy, West was greatly impressed by the Baptist church and was deeply touched by the stories of parishioners who, only two generations from slavery, told stories of blacks maintaining their religious faith during the most trying of times.
In its 42 years of existence, more than 33,000 students have earned their degrees at Penn State Harrisburg and many thousands of others have worked, visited, or studied on the campus.
They have all been part of the history of what began as a small college in 1966 and has evolved into the major education and research institution it is today. From 18 students in 1966, the college has grown to nearly 4,000 in 2008.
