The doctoral program aims to prepare students to pursue careers in research and development, industry, government, and academia by providing them with interdisciplinary engineering education, critical thinking skills, and research experience. Penn State Harrisburg hosted its fall 2022 commencement ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 17. More than 660 degrees were conferred this semester.
Admissions officers look beyond grades and test scores, considering extracurricular activities, essays, recommendations, and personal qualities. Students can apply to individual undergraduate schools (Arts & Sciences, Wharton, Engineering, Nursing). Dual-degree programs such as Huntsman Program in International Studies & Business and Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology (M&T) are especially prestigious and selective.
