The new catalogue, which will be implemented across PennWest’s campuses in Edinboro, Clarion and California, as well as its Global Online campus, in fall 2026, includes some significant shifts.

PennWest said that central to the redesign was a focus on career preparation and workforce development. According to the university, the new academic catalog will boost students’ access to what PennWest calls “Keystone Experiences,” or internships, clinical placements, research, service-learning projects and leadership programs.
