“Central Penn College is in the process of a substantial transformation,” says Dr. Karen M. Scolforo, President. Founded in 1881, Central Penn College offers associate’s, baccalaureate and master’s degrees and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
“We are developing a culture of research and scholarship grounded in the liberal arts. Our graduates are critical thinkers, ready to take on leadership roles,” Scolforo explains. Efforts to keep tuition low make Central Penn an affordable choice in private education.
Located in Cumberland County, Central Penn’s 1,450 students enjoy many of the amenities of a larger institution, such as the 250-seat Capital BlueCross Theatre, a partnership with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, an expanded USCAA Division II athletic program, the Greenly Foundation Fitness Center, a banking program relying on regional bankers’ insights and a partnership with East Pennsboro Township dedicated to creating a college-friendly town.
“Central Penn connects the dots between education and workplace,” Scolforo summarizes. “Students complete capstones or internships, and all are required to fulfill service hours. Regardless of program at Central Penn, students have the opportunity to leave a legacy.”
