There are more than 140 student clubs and organizations, as well as intramural programs, and club and athletics teams.

Academics

Getting the classes you need won’t be a problem here. In fact, you’ll have the option to take classes across three campuses!

Our more than 100 programs are housed in three colleges including the College of Education, Arts and Humanities; the College of Health Sciences and Human Services; and the College of Science, Technology and Business.

As a first-year student, your classes will be predominately delivered in a face-to-face format. As you continue your college career, you’ll be able to schedule classes that suit your requirements, needs and schedule.

We deliver our courses in three ways:

An In-Person degree emphasizes traditional courses at one or more of our locations.

A Blended degree combines traditional in-person courses with flexible, online educational experiences.

An Online degree is offered 100% online.

Why so many options?

Because it allows you to shape your education according to your schedule and needs. It also allows you to take advantage of all PennWest has to offer.

You are no longer defined by one campus. You now have an entire network of faculty and staff at your disposal.
