Entrance to Major Requirements for Associate Degree Programs

Students entering any of the associate degree programs for the fall semester must have completed high school or high school equivalent of all required courses. Required courses include three courses in the algebra through trigonometry sequence and one unit of biology and one unit of chemistry. If these courses are not completed, preparatory course work may be necessary at Penn State.

1. Applying for undergraduate admission at Penn State is a relatively simple process. Apply at any of the following Penn State campuses where the specific program is offered.

Penn State Altoona
Penn State Berks
Penn State DuBois
Penn State Erie, The Behrend College
Penn State Fayette
• Penn State Harrisburg
Penn State Hazleton
Penn State New Kensington
Penn State Shenango
Penn State Wilkes-Barre
Penn State Worthington Scranton
Penn State York


2. Have filed, by no later than early spring, a completed Admissions Application Form (preferably using the Web application provided at http://www.psu.edu/dept/admissions/) to Penn State. It is important that students maintain current local address information with the registrar's office at their campus of study.

Only students who meet required criteria will be considered for acceptance to an associate degree major.

All students who are not accepted to a major in this process should see an adviser regarding their future plans. Students not assigned to a major will not be allowed to register for classes as degree students, but may take courses as non-degree students.

The University may make changes in policies, procedures, educational offerings, and requirements at any time. Please consult a Penn State academic adviser for more detailed information.
