Nestled in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania's beautiful Cumberland Valley, the college calls the small town of Summerdale home. Thus Central Penn finds itself uniquely situated just across the Susquehanna River from the state Capital of Harrisburg, close enough to experience major cultural attractions such as Hershey Park and City Island, and yet far enough away to provide a safe and secluded learning environment. The 30 acre campus resembles a small suburban housing complex, with apartments and townhouses flanking the college's three main academic buildings. Is all part of an educational atmosphere that fosters personal discipline and responsiblity as well as the academics needed to become a productive member of America's working future. Classes are small, usually no more than 15 students, allowing for more personalized support from the faculty.
Students live in spacious townhouses or apartments.
This allows Central Penn to closely replicate the business world on campus - unique, but it works. And now in addition to its long standing excellence in career oriented two-year education, Central Penn has received Pennsylvania Department of Education approval to supplement this curriculum with its first Baccalaureate Degree, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. The College also offers several Information Technology Certification Programs on an evening, continuing education basis.
