DALLAS, Pa. — Penn State Wilkes-Barre invites prospective students and their families to visit the campus during an open house on April 26 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The event will begin with a continental breakfast and will include campus tours along with details about the admissions process, academic program options, intercollegiate athletics, the campus honors program, clubs and organizations, student activities and more. Prospective students will learn about the 91 percent of Penn State Wilkes-Barre students who receive financial assistance, including scholarships. They can also ask questions of the admissions team.
“Attending an open house is the ideal way to determine if Penn State Wilkes Barre is the right fit for you,” said Aaron Mattern, senior regional director of enrollment management. “Whether you’re discovering our academic programs, engaging with current students and dedicated faculty and staff, or taking in the beauty of our scenic campus, an open house offers a fun and insightful introduction to your journey as a Penn Stater.”
Penn State Wilkes-Barre offers seven bachelor’s and four associate degree programs that can be completed at the campus. Students can also begin one of more than 275 degree programs offered by Penn State, spending the first two years at Penn State Wilkes-Barre before transitioning to another Penn State campus, including University Park (the 2+2 Plan).
The Penn State application fee is waived for students who visit the campus, including as part of an open house.
Those planning to attend should register online. Upon registering, participants will receive followup communications with a campus map, directions and additional information. Those who are interested but unable to attend the open house can schedule a one-on-one visit and tour by contacting the Admissions office at 570-675-9238 or [email protected].
