A comprehensive guide to Pennsylvania's public universities, state-related universities, community colleges, state-aided institutions, and private colleges and universities.

Higher Education in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has one of the largest and most diverse higher-education systems in the United States. The Commonwealth includes state-owned universities, state-related universities, public community colleges, private state-aided institutions, private colleges and universities, theological institutions, and specialized degree-granting schools.

Pennsylvania's public higher-education system includes the universities governed by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), four state-related universities, and a statewide network of community colleges. The Commonwealth also has a large private higher-education sector.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education maintains an official statewide system for identifying postsecondary institutions and their addresses through EdNA. Pennsylvania also separates state-owned, state-related, community college, state-aided, private, and other postsecondary categories.

This page brings together the major degree-granting higher-education institutions in Pennsylvania in one convenient reference, with institution type, location, and direct official website links.

About Pennsylvania's Higher-Education Categories

Pennsylvania's higher-education system is more complicated than a simple public-versus-private classification. The Commonwealth identifies State Universities, State-Related Commonwealth Universities, Community Colleges, Private State-Aided Institutions, Private Colleges and Universities, Private Two-Year Colleges, Specialized Associate Degree institutions, and other postsecondary categories.

PASSHE currently consists of 10 universities. The four state-related universities are Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, University of Pittsburgh, and Lincoln University.

Branch campuses and satellite locations are not counted as separate universities in the main totals unless Pennsylvania's official institutional classification treats the entity separately.
