Help making a degree plan!!

[Vle045]

I am speaking only as a mom of a High School Student. I’d love for my son to have that in person college experience too. I am also kind of frugal. If you want that experience, then go for it.

First - TALK to someone at PSU… the campus closest to you. You may find out better information from them than anything you can find online. (I grew up near Penn State Behrend. Go Nittany Lions!).

If you need financial assistance, try looking in to jobs that offer it. There’s a ton of them out there. Maybe one has an affiliation with an online school that will be free or super cheap. You *might* be able to take THOSE credits and transfer them more easily to PSU later and get the degree and experience that you wanted from PSU. Of course, that could depend on the details of the tuition assistance program.

Have you looked at IUP (Indiana University of PA)? I think they are one of the more affordable schools in PA. I went there for a while but then transferred to a school closer to home. Beautiful campus. I don’t know their transfer policies. https://www.iup.edu/
