The study of engineering at Mont Alto encompasses instruction in the first two years of curricula for all engineering disciplines offered by Penn State. The course offerings at Mont Alto are identical to those at any other campus within the Penn State system including University Park. After the first two years you may finish your engineering program at University Park or at other terminal degree granting locations (Harrisburg and Behrend).

What sets Mont Alto engineering apart? Perhaps our greatest asset is our low student to faculty ratio. Engineering classes are typically filled with 15 to 20 students, and are always taught by a faculty member. This enables our students to have tremendous access to our experienced faculty, not a graduate assistant. The bottom line for the student is individualized attention, instruction, and opportunity to "tap into" a developed engineering knowledge base.

Combining this strength with the inherent beauty and serenity of our campus enables our students to select and develop within their engineering discipline. Personalized faculty advising opportunities provide our students a wealth of information and counsel with which they choose the engineering program that would be best suited for themselves. The choice is critical for success and must be made by every Penn State engineering student by the middle of their fourth semester of study.

The information on our web pages is intended to provide an introductory glance at our engineering program. See the top of this page for further links to pages of interest.
We welcome the opportunity to answer specific questions or to provide additional details. Please choose the medium that best suits your situation to get in touch with us.
