World Campus is Penn State’s Online Campus
The World Campus is one of Penn State's 25 campuses. Our students are Penn State students. Since you will be held to the same rigorous standards as Penn State students attending courses on campus, your transcript will look the same as any other Penn State student's transcript, and your diploma will look the same as any other Penn State student's diploma. There will be no indication that you studied online.
As a Penn State student, you may join the Penn State Alumni Association—a powerful network and the largest dues-paying alumni association in the world.
Penn State is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, one of six regional higher education accreditation bodies for the United States.
