Overview
Pennsylvania State University is an American public research university founded in 1855 as an agricultural college, and it is now one of the largest universities in the country by enrolment. Its main campus at University Park is joined by twenty other campuses across the state and the online World Campus, together enrolling around ninety thousand students, and it operates a substantial research enterprise including the Applied Research Laboratory, a Navy-funded centre working on undersea and defence systems. It employs tens of thousands of academic, research, medical and administrative staff, and its hiring volume reflects a workforce spread across an entire state.
