Political forces The political environment of Pennsylvania is highly stable which provides an opportunity for Penn State World Campus to expand the graduate and undergraduate certificate and degree programs to learners. However, external issues like alterations in government policy might put public funding of higher education at huge risks. While the government policies might incentivize the foundation to overcome sustainable development issues to minimize costs, troubles may occur in the future. Furthermore, influence from external bodies, unions, or NGOs may increase students' involvement opportunities for sustainable development initiatives.
