The following is a list of colleges and universities in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is home to a number of universities, both public and private. The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) is the governing body that oversees appropriations for state owned higher education institutions. Established in 1983, there are currently ten four-year degree programs and a number of community colleges in the PASSHE system. Through the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, the state offers public appropriations to four quasi-private higher education institutions, although this support is more limited than what is received by PASSHE-affiliated institutions. Currently Lincoln University (HBCU), Pennsylvania State University, University of Pittsburgh, and Temple University are the four universities with Commonwealth affiliation. Commonwealth universities are often referred to as "state-related" for their quasi-public status.
Includes all not-for-profit schools that have closed since 1960.
