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.

Penn State Harrisburg marked another celebration of its growth today (June 4) with groundbreaking ceremonies for construction of a 100-bed student residence hall on campus.
The 30,000-square-foot, four-story, $10 million project to serve first-year students, designed by the architectural firm of SMP Architects of Philadelphia, was approved by the University’s Board of Trustees at its March 20 meeting. With Poole Anderson Construction managing the project, the residence hall is expected to be completed by the fall 2010 semester and will increase the number of students housed on campus to 430.
Sustainability is the hallmark of the newest residence hall to be constructed at Penn State Harrisburg.
In keeping with the University’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the $10 million, 30,000-square-foot structure is planned to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified and considers the environment and energy efficiency.
Because an already busy Penn State Harrisburg student refused to wait, a local youth baseball organization has a vastly improved web presence.
Embodying Penn State Harrisburg’s extensive outreach and service commitment to the community, Information Sciences and Technology students in Assistant Professor Information Systems Roderick Lee’s classes frequently undertake projects which pair the expertise they have gained in their studies to address an expressed need from business, industry, or organizations in the area.
