Pre-College Programs

Penn State Lehigh Valley's commitment to education in our community begins with children long before they reach college age. Through the department of Continuing Education & Outreach, Penn State Lehigh Valley is able to engage future students and expose them to the opportunities that education affords through numerous program types.

Personal Growth Programs

Those who are not interested in furthering a specific career path through Continuing Education & Outreach's professional development programs may choose to explore topics in a more laid-back, homework-free setting. Continuing Education & Outreach provides the opportunity to explore a number of areas of personal growth through no-stress and non-credit arts courses, lecture series, and much more.
