Welcome to Penn State New Kensington!
Our campus is located on 72 wooded acres in Upper Burrell, Pennsylvania, just 17 miles from downtown Pittsburgh. We offer students an exceptional academic experience combined with a safe, personal environment.
Whether you start the first two years of one of Penn State's 275+ majors with us, or you complete one of our 10 baccalaureate or 4 associate degrees entirely here, at Penn State New Kensington you'll have the advantage of smaller classes and one-on-one interaction with faculty.
We encourage you to apply soon and become part of the Penn State family.
