PEnn state university

The Pennsylvania State University (also known as Penn State or PSU, and not to be confused with the University of Pennsylvania) is one of the most frequently searched colleges in the United States, according to a recent internet keyword search of American universities.

Established in 1855, PSU maintains a current enrollment of almost 100,000 students, making it one of the largest universities in America.

The school offers undergraduate, graduate, professional, and continuing education courses, both on campus and online. With a medical college and two law schools, PSU is known as a "public ivy." In other words, it's a public university whose quality of education is considered as good as you could get from an Ivy League school. In fact, PSU is listed among the top 1% of universities worldwide.

Nonetheless, the acceptance rate at PSU is a generous 50%. The average SAT score of incoming students is between 1200 and 1300. The average high school GPA is 3.58.

The Pennsylvania State University is accredited by the Middle States Commission of Higher Education.
