Harrisburg University Abruptly Closes International Campuses

Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is closing campuses in Panama and Dubai, striking a hasty retreat from the international market it once pinned its enrollment hopes on.  The closures, announced at an employee town hall last month, come after Harrisburg’s Panama campus opened in 2022, followed by the U.A.E. location last year. The ambitious expansion, launched amid enrollment struggles at Harrisburg’s main campus in Pennsylvania, ended abruptly and with no public explanation from administrators on why the university was shutting down the two locations.
