Penn State Great Valley

Penn State Great Valley is the graduate campus of The Pennsylvania State University located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in the Philadelphia suburbs. Operating as the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies, it focuses on working professionals and offers master’s degrees, graduate certificates, and continuing education rather than a traditional undergraduate residential experience. Programs commonly span business, engineering, information sciences, education, and related professional fields, with flexible scheduling suited to career-oriented students. As part of the public Penn State system, Great Valley draws on university-wide academic standards and resources while maintaining a compact suburban campus oriented toward graduate instruction, research collaboration, and industry engagement in the Greater Philadelphia region. It serves regional and international graduate students seeking applied professional credentials from a major research university without relocating to University Park.
