Pennsylvania State University Fayette-Eberly

Description

The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is a state-related, land-grant university.

The University has 24 campuses throughout Pennsylvania, including a virtual World Campus. The enrollment at Penn State is over 84,000 students, placing it among the ten largest public universities in the United States. Penn State offers more than 160 majors and administers a $1.4 billion endowment. Although it receives funding from the state and is connected to the state through its board of trustees, it is otherwise independent and not subject to the state's direct control.

This campus in rural Fayette County began in 1934 as a two-year undergraduate center. It since has grown to about 100 acres and 10 buildings offering five baccalaureate degrees.

In 2004, the campus was renamed in honor of Eberly family of Uniontown to recognize their philanthropic and leadership contributions to the university.
