Pennsylvania State University  — also known as Penn State — is a public state-related land-grant research university with campuses that are spread throughout Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1855 as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania and became the country’s only land-grant institution eight years later in 1863.

Though the university is not a member of the Ivy League, Penn State is a major research university and is sometimes referred to as one of the so-called “Public Ivies”, a publicly-funded research institution that provides a comparable quality of education to Ivy League institutions. In addition to its land-grant designation, Penn State also participates in the sea-grant, sun-grant, and space-grant; one of only four institutions (alongside Cornell, Oregon State, and Hawai’I at Mānoa) to do so.

Penn State is a “state-related” university and forms part of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth System of Higher Education. Although the university receives funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is connected to the state via its board of trustees, it is entirely independent and does not fall under the control of the state.
