Since 1935, Penn State DuBois has provided tens of thousands of men and women with the opportunity to create better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. As part of the Penn State system, we offer our students the greater resources and lower costs of a major public university within a small-college learning environment on the DuBois campus. This combination of personal attention with a broad range of academic choices makes our campus the first step toward success for many residents of north central Pennsylvania.
Every year, Penn State DuBois enrolls nearly 1,000 talented, hard-working students who are seeking to improve their lives through education. Over half of these students are the first generation in their families to attend college. More than a third are adult learners who must balance the demands of work and family as well as school. Our students face many challenges on the road to higher education, but some of the toughest are financial. And it’s not just the students and their families who are challenged financially.
Prior to 1980, State appropriations covered more than 60 percent of University expenses. They now provide only 20 percent of the Penn State budget. As a result, we depend more than ever on generous alumni and friends to help provide the high quality educational experience for which Penn State is known and to help keep Penn State DuBois affordable for our students.
