Penn State Behrend is a four-year, residential college with more than 4,700 undergraduate and graduate students, offering thirty-four bachelor's degrees, two master’s degrees, and six associate degree programs. It is the second-largest campus in the Penn State system next to University Park. The 854-acre campus features an arboretum, and nearly 1,700 students live on campus in traditional residence halls, suite-style halls, and apartment buildings.
The campus was originally the Glenhill Farm estate of Ernst Behrend, co-founder of Erie’s Hammermill Paper Company, later acquired by International Paper. In 1948, Mary Behrend donated the Glenhill property to the University in memory of her late husband, and the college opened that same year with just 146 students.
