And those wondering, I did a quick search, and there are at least 60 credits worth of Study.com courses that can transfer into Penn State, I would guess at least the same amount will come from other approved ACE providers as well. I don't recall what the limit is for alternative credit transfer at Penn, if it's at least 75% of the degree (90 credits) or so, then it's a viable option for those that want the name/recognition, if you can afford the price...

I realized Penn State World Campus is no better than WGU.
WGU is in fact a better name.
Anything that says 'World Campus' or 'Global Campus' feels fake to employer's eyes.
'Global Campus' simply means watered down, fake version of something.

Also, Penn State World Campus is too overpriced for what it is. There's a high chance that you get nothing out of their degree.
I have decided to ignore the 'global campus' stuffs permanently.

The diploma/transcript will not mention "world campus" and it's set up to be exactly the same as an on-campus degree from Penn State.

Then you're lying. You never lived in Pennsylvania. You never attended Penn State. Employer can reject your application for that false statement. 

If you say you got your degree from WGU, which is a fully online school, then it makes more sense.

Global campus degrees create confusion and make your application look more fake.

That's your opinion. It is not at all backed up by the experiences of the hundreds (thousands) of students who have come through these forums over the years.

It's not a lie because Penn State has a 'One University' policy versus other state systems wherein campuses are separate universities.

Just a side note as a Pennsylvania native…. 

”Penn” refers to the University of Pennsylvania which is a private Ivy League school.  It’s also sometimes “UPenn”

Penn State is a state school and part of the big 10 conference. It is never referred to as “Penn”. 
It is also often referenced by its full name THE Pennsylvania State University (Emphasis on “the”).  Smile

He’s not lying. I grew up in Pennsylvania.  Lived there for about 30 years - in Erie, where one of the Penn State campuses is located. A childhood friend is the Cheerleading coach and another works in the marketing department.  My mom lives about a five minute drive from the campus. Penn State is very proud of their one university philosophy across all campuses, including online.

Yeah, I typed Penn State and the second sentence I typed Penn... my typing isn't always following what the brain wants to do, fingers does the typing differently for some reason or another. Anyways, just like TESU, it's not a purely online university and has butt-in-seat programs. Most universities that are butt-in-seat are creating newer online programs, they're not exclusively online, as the other medium/options are butt-in-seat or a hybrid of the two. You just have to truthfully tell it as it is, be honest in your resume and tell them, you went to ABC and got degree XYZ and it was done using their online platform.
