The 14-university, 100,000-student Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is fundamentally transforming its educational and business models in response to an array of challenges that confront public higher education nationally, but are acutely concentrated in the Commonwealth.

Drawing on promising work across US higher education generally, the system has developed and is implementing a five-point transformational playbook designed to ensure the system continues sustainably to offer affordable, quality education and to drive economic development and social mobility in Pennsylvania well into the 21st century.
