[edit] History

Nearly 100 years old, Penn State Lehigh Valley developed strong associate degree offerings over the years. In 1970, it expanded its academic program by providing up to the first two years of most of Penn State's baccalaureate degree majors.

In 1972, the campus made significant changes to its academic plans to include continuing education programs in addition to its baccalaureate offerings. In 1978, the campus moved to its present location, in Fogelsville. The Lehigh Valley campus includes two buildings on approximately 40 acres (160,000 m²) of land. The Lehigh Valley campus offers baccalaureate degrees in Applied Psychology, Business, Elementary Education, Information Sciences and Technology (IST), and Professional Writing. Students may also complete an associate degree in IST.

Currently, the Lehigh Valley campus has more than 700 full-time and part-time undergraduate students. An additional 3,000 students enroll each year in its continuing education programs.
