Located in south-central Pennsylvania, Shippensburg University is regarded as one of the premier public universities in Pennsylvania. This reputation was built on the work of the thousands of extraordinary faculty and staff who have dedicated their time and talent over Ship’s nearly 150 years of existence. Overall, our purpose is to help build a better, stronger south-central Pennsylvania - economically and culturally - through people who have the abilities, skills and values to compete in a technologically evolving world. Given our location at the center of the East Coast's major metropolitan areas, our students and employees also have plenty of opportunities to explore all the region has to offer. The campus is situated in the township of Shippensburg and adjacent to the borough of Shippensburg in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, a safe and friendly community.
