Centre Daily Times: Christian university to open in State College

A small Christian university, in partnership with local clergy, will soon open a branch campus in the downtown, organizers said last week.

Eastern University, a 3,700-student institution based outside Philadelphia, is planning to offer at least four classes taught with a Christian perspective. The courses will start in January to coincide with the Penn State spring semester and will be held in downtown church buildings.
