What actually gets reported at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Scranton
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Rape.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Scranton sits on price and outcomes

- Pennsylvania median
- 2.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,277
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $14,322 for families reporting under $30,000 against $23,599 above $110,000, a difference of $9,277. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $17,910 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $55,620, roughly 3.1 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
