Welcome to
Community and Economic Development
Graduate Education at Penn State
Penn State offers two
innovative online programs in Community and Economic Development.
Master of
Professional Studies
Postbaccalaureate Certificate
Both programs provide professionals, officials, and citizens with the
knowledge and skills to work with citizens and leaders to establish and
maintain viable communities and community
organizations.
A significant aspect of these programs is the
incorporation of multidisciplinary perspectives drawing on economics and
sociology and the attention paid to application of theory and research
to practice of community and economic development. The multidisciplinary
approach recognizes and addresses the complexity of working in and with
communities and organizations. Courses include on-line discussions,
readings, exercises and projects that
provide opportunities to apply what is learned. On-line courses are
offered through Penn State's World Campus.
