im thinking of majoring in business and i wanted to choose university park since its the largest campus and i visited there, but there isnt a ‘university park’ option on the common app?? kinda confused
make sure your major is offered at university park and you probably will be good!
Smeal College of Business at University Park doesn’t actually have a “business” major but they do have a management one. Here’s a link to all the business related majors at University Park:

Chances are you selected a major that’s not offered and so it gave you a list of campuses where they are. If you need to select a second campus, consider selecting a campus with a Business school that is AACSB accredited. Black school of business out of Behrend (erie) and Capital out of Harrisburg are AACSB as is the Smeal college out of UP.
What’s your start campus?
If you want to apply to Smeal, you’re better off applying DUS to UP unless you have 3.8+/1450. DUS changes nothing (that’s where about 90% would-be business majors start).
Otherwise, Behrend has a good reputation - not as strong as Smeal but quite good in the region. You can apply directly to the major there.
Pro tip: an in-demand major for business is Supply Chain, especially if you can take an Asian language as a minor/study or intern abroad in Asia.
