Pennsylvania is home to many colleges and universities with high-quality education programs. Here are few you may want to consider:

2. Pennsylvania State University (Penn State): Penn State has a College of Education that offers multiple undergraduate programs, including degrees in special education, education and public policy, early childhood education, etc.
3. Temple University: Temple's College of Education and Human Development offers various undergraduate and graduate programs. Subjects include early childhood education, middle-grade education, and secondary education.
4. University of Pittsburgh (UPitt): UPitt’s School of Education offers several undergraduate programs including applied developmental psychology and health and physical activity.
