Feeling stressed? Having problems?
Like many students, you may encounter a great deal of stress during your college years—whether it be academic, social, family, work, financial, etc. While most cope successfully with the demands of college life, for some the pressures can become overwhelming and unmanageable. You may feel alone, isolated, helpless, and even hopeless. These feelings can easily disrupt your academic performance and may result in harmful behaviors such as substance abuse and attempts at suicide. Personal Counseling at Penn State Behrend offers the following services to currently enrolled students:
- Individual Counseling
- Psychiatric Services
- Crisis Intervention
- Community Referrals
- Support Groups
- Resources for Self-Help
- Confidential and Free Services

MAJOR OF THE MONTH: ACCOUNTING, B.S. |
|
MAJOR OF THE MONTH: INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE AND BUSINESS, B.S. |
|
WHAT IS ISB?
Health-care centers, pharmaceutical companies, tech firms, and research facilities are changing our lives every day. Those organizations are based in science but rely on business experts to oversee sales, finances, marketing, supply chains, and more. That's where the B.S. in Interdisciplinary Science and Business has its roots—preparing you to work on the business side of a science-based organization.
You'll build a foundation in science with core classes, then choose a specialized path in either quantitative science, laboratory science, or human health, depending on your personal interests and career goals. Likewise, you'll study the fundamentals of business before choosing to specialize in either accounting and finance, technical sales, or operations and supply chain management.
