This school needs to be more honest about how its classes are formatted. When I enrolled here, I was not told about the severe lack of in person classes, and how most classes are done in an online asynchronous format. I understand that this works for some people, but I am a kind of person where my brain seems to just not respond at all to that method of learning. The fact that there is not even an in person option for so many of these classes is frankly embarrassing. One semester of all online asynchronous classes I can handle, but five or six in a row is ridiculous. I would not have come here if I knew this was the case beforehand. If you're not gonna offer in person options for, in my experience, over 50% of your classes, at least be honest about it. Don't mislead people, because it can and will cause problems. I deeply regret coming here and would recommend others stay away from this school as well. Also, the campus itself is very awkwardly designed and does not feel good to walk through.

Parking load as a decent size. The inside looked way bigger then the outside. Bathrooms are super clean ( Big plus) staff as really nice. I went here for a work meeting.

Went here for both my Bachelors and Master's Degree. My Bachelor years living on campus were the best of my life. I graduated in 2012 with my undergrad. I don't know how things are now but things back in that time were amazing! They have a high drop out rate due to students inconsistencies in applying themselves, not because the staff don't care. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

I was in this school for two semesters, when I was in college, and I learned and had a nice GPA. It's a small school, and some teachers are really nice to you. The owner would greet students with Milano biscuits when I was there. But it has a problem it's very small, there is a security problem sometimes. It is not a school to make friends. And it won't look good on your resume if you graduate from here.

I think this school could be more challenging and offer more opportunities, however, I am employed in my field (Information Technology), In a job position that requires a 4 year degree. I learned things here about computers that I could not have imagined, and now I am successful. It would be nice to have a Penn State degree but this does just as well because once you get in the door, it all comes down to experience and how hard you work.

As an full-time employed adult-learner who returned to complete a bachelor's degree part-time to advance in my career, I would recommend Central Penn College. The professors that I have had are qualified real-world experienced educators who are also experienced adjuncts at other area colleges and universities. Most of those professors have full-time jobs with organizations from within the area, and are understanding and forgiving when it comes to your personal family or work obligations. Remember, you only get out what you put in. If you are disciplined and focused, you can achieve your goals.

I attended this school which was the worst decision of my life. Due to the fact it's a private school they are allowed to do whatever they want and it won't have anything to do with the state. I want to put together a lawsuit against them for all the money they take from their students. It's really sad to see them continue to hurt the minds of the young adults who want to do better for themselves. PRIVATE COLLEGES ARE THE WORST.

Central Penn has its ups and downs, but I would say it really is not that much different from other colleges I have been to. You have your grind of going to class, sitting through lectures, and several hours of outside class work. Like any college experience the more you put into your classes the more you will get out of it. Some of the reviews on here are rather biased, I think due to existing circumstances. When the college changed presidents, two years ago there were major changes made that had a radical effect on the college and there was some fallout that did affect some students including myself. I think Central Penn college is still a valuable education and certainly makes it convenient and easy to get your degree in an accelerated fashion. I think for continuing education students and for those who want to get your bachelors in three years or less Central Penn is an excellent choice. I would say to visit Central Penn and see if it's right for you before listening to some of these hateful reviews that had out of the ordinary circumstances.
