As mentioned in prior posts, we have a good number of options in PA when it comes to higher education. We recently covered the options of private liberal arts schools in the Eastern part of PA (and another with southeastern PA). We also have numerous options of private liberal arts schools in Central PA. I classify this as the area in between our large metropolitan areas on each side of the state.
