Many of Penn State’s 24 permanent locations statewide started from humble beginnings, such as the Hazleton campus, shown here, which offered collegiate-level studies in this former Broad Street School building soon after the establishment of the campus in 1934. Hazleton was among four Penn State “undergraduate centers” created that year (along with Pottsville, Uniontown, and Sayre-Towanda) to make available the first two years of collegiate study to students who were location-bound because of economic hardships related to the Great Depression. Hazleton initially enrolled 47 full-time and 60 part-time evening students. Today, approximately 40 percent of all Penn State baccalaureate students are enrolled at campuses other than University Park.
