Penn State Greater Allegheny’s signature programs distinguish the campus by providing unique and transformative educational opportunities for students.
Digital Fluency Project
Technology is front and center at Penn State Greater Allegheny. Students use digital tools to communicate and solve problems, and they understand the impact new technologies can bring – from lowering costs of textbooks, to engaging in new ways of learning, to connecting from a distance with faculty and tutors, and more!
Growing Older is a long-term project that brings together Penn State Greater Allegheny, local organizations, and non-profits to explore aging and its impact on McKeesport and the Pittsburgh region.
