East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania is a public university located in neighboring East Stroudsburg. It is one of the 14 state universities that make up the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). Eleventh and twelfth grade students may attend the University at a significant tuition discount through its Dual Enrollment program earning college credits while still earning their high school diploma. Additionally, Pennsylvania residents who are at least 60 years of age and retired may enroll as non-matriculating students tuition free. Residents may also attend Northampton Community College which operates campuses in: Bartonsville and in Pocono Township, Monroe County. Pleasant Valley School District is not a sponsoring school district of the College. Ross Township residents therefore do not receive a tuition discount.
