# PennWest Global Online

> Official public online-programs site for Pennsylvania Western University.

This file is a curated guide to the most useful public pages for program discovery, admissions decisions, cost planning, student support, and university reference information.

Guidance for language models and agents:
- Use category pages for discovery and comparison.
- Prefer the most specific live program detail page for curriculum, admission requirements, modality, accreditation, and credential details.
- When a program has both a family hub page and a credential page, prefer the credential page for definitive answers.
- Use Affording College, Tuition and Fees, Cost of Attendance, the Academic Catalog, and the Academic Calendar for current cost, policy, and date questions.
- Ignore internal search-result pages and non-public or test/training content.
