Carlow University at Westmoreland County Community College
We are excited about our new location in the Business and Industry Center at the Westmoreland County Community College campus at 145 Pavilion Lane, Youngwood, PA 15697. Carlow is known as regional leader in adult education and remains committed to making it easy to access higher education opportunities. Since 1992, we had been located in Greensburg, and believe that our new location will allow us to make access even easier.
All Carlow students have access to the resources at Carlow’s main campus. For example, you can go in-person or via online to make use of Grace Library, the Center for Academic Achievement, the Office of Career Development and the Office of Student Affairs.
At Carlow, teaching excellence means small class sizes and a supportive learning environment which allows for a more personalized experience for you. To help adult learners, classes are offered in the Carlow Accelerated Program format one night a week, three hours a night, for eight weeks. This allows for two eight-week sessions per semester so students can double the number of credits they can take.
Get the Best of Both Worlds

Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center, also known as PA Trac or TAOC, allows community college students to complete an associate degree, then take their classes with them. Carlow is one of the few private, liberal arts schools in the region that offers this program to transfer students. Westmoreland graduates may be able to enter Carlow at junior status, and in many cases, with only major requirements to complete and core requirements waived.
