Selecting Your Campus

Entering first-year law students have the unique opportunity to select from one of two locations for their classes — University Park or Carlisle. During your first year, all required courses are available at either location.

Second- and third-year upper-level courses are available through in-person instruction or via our highly sophisticated, suitable and advanced audiovisual telecommunications system. Regardless of location, all students have access to substantially the same curriculum, programmatic resources and student organizations. Upper-level students also may switch campuses to take advantage of any classes or programs uniquely available at the other campus.

  • University Park is the flagship campus for Penn State University and is home to more than 40,000 students pursuing undergraduate degrees, masters, and doctorates. It goes without saying that it is a vibrant community consisting of faculty, staff, and students of the University, as well as local residents.
  • Carlisle, located ninety miles southeast of University Park, is the traditional home of the Law School since its establishment in 1834. Because of its proximity to the state capital of Harrisburg, Carlisle offers several unique opportunities for experiential learning through clinics and other externships.
  • Since campus location may ultimately be a personal choice, we encourage you to weigh your options by considering all of the information available on our Web site and in our view book.
