When should I apply?
We recommend that first-year admission applications be submitted by November 1, but applications will be accepted after that date and evaluated in the order in which they’re received.
Transfer admission applications should be submitted as soon as possible prior to the start of the desired semester, due to the lengthier evaluation of the transfer credit process.
While Penn State Beaver offers a rolling admission throughout the year, it’s best to apply early to allow time for all of your information to be processed before the beginning of a semester.
How should I apply?
Apply online by visiting Penn State’s Undergraduate Admissions page and creating a My Penn State account. Be sure to include your first and second choices for campus location. Here’s a video that explains the process.
How will Penn State Beaver notify me of its decision regarding the application for admission?
All students are notified through the mail regarding the outcome of the application evaluation. In addition, an admission decision will be posted to your “My Penn State” account online.
Can I complete my entire education at Penn State Beaver?
Sometimes. It depends on the program you choose. Typically, students can complete the first two years of nearly all of Penn State’s 275+ degree programs at Beaver campus, then move to University Park or another Penn State location to complete their junior and senior years.
However, Beaver campus offers several baccalaureate degrees that can be completed entirely on campus. For more information, see Academics.
