Before You Arrive

If you are an incoming graduate student, you probably have a lot of questions about your program and what you will need to do before you arrive, the first week you get here, and for the next few years!

Newly admitted C&I graduate students who will be studying at University Park are encouraged to consult our page, "Before You Arrive."

The College of Education website has a section specifically for graduate students, which includes links to funding opportunities, student organizations, and other Penn State resources for graduate students.

At the University level, the Graduate & Professional Studies Association publishes The Guide to Graduate Life, which is full of useful information.

The official description of graduate programs is the Graduate Degree Programs Bulletin.

The Department strives to be a friendly and supportive environment for all students, and we look forward to working with you. If you have questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
