Pennsylvania College of Technology

ennsylvania College of Technology is a national leader in applied technology education with roots tracing back to adult education and workforce training in Williamsport more than a century ago. Created as a special mission affiliate of Penn State by an act of the General Assembly in 1989, Penn College enjoys a mutually beneficial association with the University.
The College currently enrolls nearly 4,600 students in nearly 100 diverse academic majors focusing on hands-on experiential learning in high-demand career fields. Full-time enrollment is 82 percent, and 60 percent of the College’s students are in baccalaureate degree programs.  We also now grant master’s degrees in Physician Assistant Studies and Nursing, and a new five-year B.Arch in architecture begins next fall.  Currently, more than 300 of our students are military veterans or family members.
With a 97.7% overall placement rate, and 100% in many majors, Penn College academic programs are supported by many of the same industry partners who hire its graduates — which also provides students with an incredible alumni network throughout their future careers. The College has more than 3,000 unique corporate relationships in Pennsylvania alone, representing an array of business sectors. These companies recruit its students, advise its curriculum to ensure currency, and support instructional needs with equipment, materials, and other resources.
