Penn State Berks sits on 258 beautiful acres in eastern Pennsylvania. The campus serves approximately 2,900 students (which includes over 800 living on-campus), offers NCAA Division III athletics and club sports teams, and over 40 student clubs and organizations.

The campus is easily accessible from anywhere in eastern Pennsylvania, as well as neighboring states. Penn State Berks also offers special services to assist international students.

At Penn State Berks we know that the best way to experience all our campus has to offer is an on-campus tour but in the best interest of you and your family, our students, faculty, and staff we are not currently offering any on campus tours.

In the meantime we encourage you to take a virtual tour of our campus and if you have any questions, or want to talk to a member of the Admissions Team, please call 610-396-6060 or email [email protected] 

Thank you for your understanding. Be safe and healthy!
