What Students Are Saying

You will be challenged to go outside of your comfort zone and think about things you have never been presented with. The Management 301 project challenges you to raise $1,000 for an organisation in the community as a team. You will have projects that you can put on a resume, and can apply to your career.
Katie from Erie, PA
Academics are take very seriously, the professors are very helpful and always have office hours. There is also very helpful free tutoring programs, and help sessions for every subject.
Jacob from Mars, PA
The classes provide an interesting challenge that always keeps you interested.
Nathan from Erie, PA
The classes can be a little tricky to handle especially once you get into your major required courses but it's worth it in the end. The only issue is that behrend is for STEM majors. All others feel like their education isn't worth it.
Amber from Fairview, PA
Classes are very helpful. They are not the easiest, but college is meant to be challenging to help prepare you for after school when you are out looking for a job.
Jessica from Erie, PA
This is a great school if you are interested in majors such as engineering or other sciences. Also this is a wonderful school for a business degree. Along with many other majors, once you graduate, you get to go home with a Penn State degree!
