Penn State Harrisburg, officially Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg—Capital College and also called The Capital College, is an undergraduate college and graduate school of the Pennsylvania State University located in Lower Swatara Township, Pennsylvania. The campus is 9 miles (15 km) south of Harrisburg. Penn State offers 2 associate, 34 baccalaureate, 19 master's, and three doctoral degree programs as well as certificate, certification, and joint degree programs. It was an upper division college (serving only juniors and seniors) from its founding in 1966 until accepting freshmen and sophomores in 2004.
The "Penn State Eastgate Center" opened in 1991 in downtown Harrisburg and contains state agencies such as the Pennsylvania Securities Commission and Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System as well as hearing rooms for workers compensation that also occupy space in the building. As of 2012, all classrooms and administrative personnel previously located in this building were relocated to the Middletown campus.
