Erie and Harrisburg’s b’schools are AACSB accredited in their own right so they adhere to some very rigorous requirements such as having a higher ratio of PhD tenured faculty. Ultimately you’ll end up at UP Smeal anyways (also AACSB) so I think prepping in a more rigorous environment will help you more. Erie faculty at the Black School of Business are super involved…but you have to be willing to deal with snow and getting in/out of Erie. If you can deal with snow, I’d recommend Erie. If that’s a concern, I’d be inclined to pick Harrisburg, plus it’s easier to get in/out of Harrisburg and you can make day trips to UP easily as it’s less than 90 min away. I love Altoonas campus but for business and engineering, I think Harrisburg and Erie have a slight edge.
