Pennsylvania Colleges & Universities: Career Education Programs

Published: November, 2010

Pennsylvania is a mid-Atlantic state known for its modern cities, picturesque Pennsylvania Dutch communities, and colonial history. The City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, is home to almost 1.5 million people within the city proper, with millions more in the surrounding area. Philadelphia was the first capital of the United States, and today celebrates its historical significance with sites including Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Present-day Philly lives up to its historical reputation with trend-setting music, world-famous museums, and beloved athletic teams.

Pittsburgh, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, was formerly a major steel-producing center. More recently, Pittsburgh has become an educational and technological hub for the mid-Atlantic region. Pittsburgh is also known for its low cost of living and strong educational and economic infrastructure.

Pennsylvania's economy is fueled by the urban manufacturing of its two largest cities, with the central regions of the state remaining predominantly rural. In total, Pennsylvania is home to 49 Fortune 500 companies and ranks sixth in the nation in gross domestic product.

Pennsylvania ranks among the top five of all states in the category of educational services. According to the Northwest Midwest Institute, Pennsylvania has an educational output twice that of the national average. With so many resources devoted to education, students have good reason to search Pennsylvania for advanced training in technology and business. Particularly strong programs include biomedical sciences and engineering. Graduates of these programs often seek employment with Pennsylvania's world-class technology firms.
