Pennsylvania College of Technology, Penn Tech, or Penn College, is a small university located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Affiliated with The Pennsylvania State University, the school offers more than 100 certificate, associate and baccalaureate degree programs in fields like business, information technology, transportation, construction, design, health, engineering technology, and forestry technology. The school was founded as the Williamsport Technical Institute in 1941, though since 1914 the school had existed as an adult education and training facility. During World War II, the school operated 24 hours per day, providing war production training to help meet defense industry needs. Additionally, both during and after the war, the institute provided training and retraining for disabled veterans. In 1965, the Williamsport Area Community College was founded, superseding the former technical institute. It continued providing technical training for residents of northern Pennsylvania. In 1989, The Pennsylvania State University named the school as an affiliate, which resulted in the name change to the Pennsylvania College of Technology. ^[1]

As an applied technology college, a majority of the college's student body is made up of students from Pennsylvania. However, a significant portion of the student body comes from other states and countries. The school employs nearly 300 full-time faculty and services approximately 6,500 students. Roughly 65% of the student body is male and 85% study full-time. ^[1]
