Central Pennsylvania College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Central Pennsylvania College is a small (850 undergraduate students) career oriented college located in the suburban Harrisburg, Pennsylvania neighborhood of Summerdale.

Established in 1881, Central Penn, formerly known as Central Pennsylvania Business School, officially changed its name in 1999 to better reflect the diversity of the school's academic programs. Central Penn offers two-year associate's degree and three and four-year bachelor's degree programs to its students. The college offers on-campus housing, but about 60 percent of the school’s students commute.

The school’s library features a learning resource center open to the public. A swimming pool, a hot tub, basketball and volleyball courts and picnic areas also are features of the drug- and alcohol-free campus. The college is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
