Penn State College Credit Classes

Accounting/Finance
Computer and Information Science
Engineering

These courses are taught by Penn State professors on Penn State Abington's campus.  This is a great program for high school seniors to earn Penn State University college credit. Enrollment is limited and competitive. This program is tuition-based, although through EASTERN, students recieve a significant reduction. The college credits earned by these students can be transferred to other colleges and will give them a head start on the total credits needed for college graduation.

Middle School

The popular three-week Summer Fun Learning program is open to students entering grades 8, 9 and 10. The classes offer an enriching experience in an applied learning setting. The goal is for students to get personal experiences and an understanding of some of the skills needed in the class they selected.

Adult and Continuing Education

EASTERN's Adult and Continuing Education programs offer a variety of career focused, certification and apprenticeship classes for adult learners. On-line enrichment and technical classes are also available. Local businesses can take advantage of our contracted training programs which can be taught on our campus or at the company site.
