COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The 'Commonwealth System of Higher Education' is the organizing body of Pennsylvania's 'state-related' schools, which allows the independent control of the universities while supplying them with the public funds needed for operations at each institution. Universities in the System are considered public universities, but are under independent control rather than that of the state. Because of their independent status, universities in the Commonwealth System tend to have higher tuition costs compared to the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
