In Pennsylvania, there are a variety of universities known for their robust business administration programs. Here are some to consider:

1. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia is one of the leading business schools in the country. They offer a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a multitude of concentrations in various business fields. Wharton's extensive alumni network and the school's reputation often lead to high-profile internships and job placements upon graduation.

2. Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh provides a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program with interdisciplinary tracks that combine business education with other fields. The school's emphasis on tech and entrepreneurship can offer unique opportunities, especially given its collaborative community and state-of-the-art facilities.

3. Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business in University Park is known for its well-rounded business administration program and the wide array of concentrations it offers. Smeal's strong alumni network can offer promising career possibilities.

Campus life varies from school to school, with urban campuses like the University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon offering a bustling city's amenities and culture, while Penn State and Lehigh, located in smaller towns, offer the quintessential college town experience.

Please remember that it's important to tour these colleges (in-person or virtually) to gain insights about which school's culture and curriculum align the best with your goals and interests. Best of luck with your decision-making process!
