Hello,

I am currently a sophomore at one of Penn State’s branch campuses. My intended major is finance and I am currently taking the entrance to major requirements to get into this major. I have the option of completing my finance degree at UP or at the Harrisburg campus. I was wondering if anyone has any experience/insight on whether or not a business degree from Smeal is much more advantageous than a degree in the same major from the Harrisburg campus. Or does it not matter and a Penn State degree is a Penn State degree?

By completing my degree at Harrisburg, I will save a lot of money because I will commute from home to campus. But, if a Smeal degree is much better to have for future employment/opportunities, then I am willing to go to UP.

Anyone with past experiences or that has an opinion feel free to respond. I appreciate your time. Thank you!
