Penn State is not part of the Passhe system. It is not at state school. 

Rather it is sometimes designated "state-supported" or "state-related," like the U of Pittsburgh.

IUP is the LARGEST PA state school in terms of enrollment, and probably in campus size as well.

This caused me to look up that weird hybrid system going on. At least we just have to deal with different levels of autonomy due to several different types of management agreements state institutions have with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Much less complicated.

You could work with local/state colleges to match it to their courses. 

I was actually going to say something similar in response. There are programs called "dual enrollment" where students take a course that they receive college credit for through a local higher education institute. Some colleges and universities also allow secondary school students attend classes on campus, as well.
