Courses on the entertainment industry topics will be offered and students can enroll in online courses offered through the World Campus.

According to a press release, there will be no additional fees for the program and accepted students will pay their regular Penn State tuition for the semester.

The program is open to College of Communications juniors or seniors in any major. There will be information sessions on Feb. 16, 18, and 24 in 60 Willard Building for interested students.
