After being laid off in 2001, Carol Holt enrolled in Penn State’s letters, arts, and sciences associate degree program. Since earning her associate degree, Carol has returned to Penn State to enroll in the bachelor of science degree program in security and risk analysis in the College of Information Sciences and Technology. “Going to college was a big step,” says Carol, a single mother of a teenage son. “Just take it one step at a time, and enjoy the journey.”
Registration
Call Continuing Education at 800-252-3592 or 814-865-5403 to discuss your education goals and register for these courses.
You need the flexibility to manage your education goals with your life. Weekend College is designed specifically for adult learners who have limited time to attend classes and are motivated by an accelerated pace.
Our model gives you the option of taking up to five courses per semester, basically a full time student schedule, while only attending classes Friday evenings and two back to back sessions on Saturdays.
The Friday evening courses run the length of a regular semester. Saturday sessions are offered in half semester blocks.
It’s your option to look at your circumstances and decide if you want to go full time or part time.
Friday evening, full semester Course 1: 6:00–9:00 p.m.
Saturday, first half of semester Course 2: 8:00 a.m.–noon and Course 3: 1:00–5:00 p.m.
Saturday, second half of semester Course 4: 8:00 a.m.–noon and Course 5: 1:00–5:00 p.m.
