Center Valley, Pa. -- Penn State's Board of Trustees approved a
composite tuition increase of 3.8 percent for undergraduate students for
the 2011-12 academic year at their meeting today (July 15) at Penn
State Lehigh Valley.
"Two-thirds of our undergraduate students will see increases of
between 2.9 percent and 3.5 percent," said Penn State President Graham

students and their families will not bear the full burden of the

classrooms equipped with identical high-definition video conferencing
technologies that will enable faculty and students in up to four
locations to participate in the same course at the same time. The

The goal of this network is to help Pennsylvania adults acquire the
knowledge and skills they need for today's jobs -- which often require
college degrees or specialized training -- conveniently at a Penn State
campus close to home.
