We want to get to know you, and for you to get to know us. That's why we offer many options to connect with us and learn more about Penn State Behrend.

We are pleased to offer limited campus visits for students who have been accepted to Behrend or who are in the process of applying for the summer or fall of 2021. Because of state travel guidelines, we are only able to offer in-person visits to students and families who reside in Pennsylvania. 

Even if you can't make an in-person visit, we encourage you to join us for a virtual visit, virtual appointment, or virtual tour.

To arrange a visit with us or to learn more, email behrend.[email protected], call us at 814-898-6100, or request more information online.
