Visiting Abington Virtually

The health and well-being of our guests as well as the Penn State Abington community remains our top priority. To that end, we have made the difficult decision to suspend all in-person campus tours and admissions-related events and visits.

Although our team will be working remotely, every effort has been made to remain accessible. The Office of Admission is available to assist you Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm (EST).

Please continue to reach us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 215-881-7600. You may also contact your admission counselor directly; they are waiting to hear from you!

Please take advantage of the many ways that you can learn more about Penn State Abington through our well-curated virtual experiences.
