Admissions Requirements to University Park Majors and Other Campuses

Your application to transfer to Penn State will be evaluated upon the following criteria:

Choosing a campus to enter and to graduate
You may enter Penn State Hazleton, then “transition” to complete your Penn State degree at University Park or another Penn State campus.  Your academic adviser can help you planning for your degree.
Or:
Students from other colleges can apply to “transfer” directly to University Park or another campus.  Not all majors are available to transfer students.

Meeting the minimum GPA
We will review your application based on your GPA from all of your previous colleges, as calculated by Penn State. When a student repeats a course, both grades are included.  You must meet the “entrance to major” GPA.  Some majors are more competitive than others.

Meeting the Entrance to Major Course Requirements
You must take certain courses to be admitted to the major.  See the Transfer Requirements by College.  The Smeal College of Business at Penn State University Park has specific admissions criteria, and other business-related majors are available.

Meeting the High School Course Requirements
You must have completed certain high school courses, including math or foreign language.  The policy includes the complete list of the required high school courses.  Students who are deficient should plan to make up the course work before entering Penn State.  In some cases, accommodations are made at Penn State for adult students.
