You've got options! Start your education at Penn State Altoona and choose to stay here to complete one of our 25 bachelor's degree programs, or begin one of Penn State's 275+ majors here and complete them at another Penn State campus.
The photos, facts, and stories are all great, but nothing replaces an actual campus visit. Choose the visitation experience that's right for you and get to know Penn State Altoona!
From first-year, transfer, and international students to veterans from our Armed Forces and high school guidance counselors, we have the information you need.
After placement testing, students attend New Student Orientation (NSO); a one-day mandatory program during the summer or in January to secure a Penn State ID card, discuss placement test results and academic plans, participate in course scheduling and registration, and learn about student life and campus involvement.
