Penn State Abington has the good fortune to be able to attract top-notch faculty who want to teach for Penn State and would prefer to live near a large city. These faculty enjoy teaching in a small-campus environment which features a great deal of interaction with students. As teachers they are committed to sharing their knowledge, curiosity, and creativity in the small college environment that is Penn State Abington. |
More than 80% of our full-time faculty have a terminal degree (usually a PhD), and these faculty teach all of their classes themselves; we do not have any graduate assistants teaching classes. Our faculty teaches in three academic divisions:
