Pennsylvania State University- Dubois

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Penn State DuBois is a commonwealth campus of the Pennsylvania State University. It is located in DuBois.

Some say and may agree that the education here resembles that of a High School. Specifically, a professor mentioned this school was not a challenging one. Most go to main campus for degrees and better job opportunities.

Penn State DuBois offers several degree programs, has a very high admittance rate, and in general, is very easy to get into if you have taken college prepatory courses, and tried the SAT. They accept people in the lower portions of their class more easily, which makes it a good school to go to if you weren't in the top 20 or 30 percent of your class, and need a shot at college.
