Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education is pursuing a course-sharing initiative to address declining enrollment and avoid layoffs. This plan allows students to take courses not offered at their home campus remotely, ensuring they earn full credit. A pilot program is set to launch in fall 2026, starting with shared foreign language courses, select history courses, and a Deaf education program. The initiative aims to adapt course delivery methods and enhance accessibility while technical logistics will be refined over the next year to facilitate remote learning.
Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education announced a plan to avoid layoffs and program cuts by pursuing a course-sharing initiative across its 10 campuses.
The plan allows students to remotely take specialized courses not offered at their home campus, enabling them to earn full credit without extensive travel.
The pilot program will begin in fall 2026, initially sharing foreign language courses, a few history courses, and a Deaf education program.
Technical logistics will be fine-tuned over the next year to ensure effective remote delivery of shared courses between campuses.
