Pennsylvania has a similar structure, with Penn State University as the "Tier 1" (with "feeder" campuses statewide offering two year and four year degrees), and the former "normal schools", later "State Teacher's Colleges" and "State Colleges", now called "Universities" as the "Tier 2" institutions. Some of the latter include West Chester University, Cheyney University, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The University of Pennsylvania is (somewhat confusingly) a private institution, not part of the state system.

Maine and Rhode Island are other examples with this structure. Maryland is somewhat ambiguous, as UM College Park is the Tier 1 school, while there are UM campuses of somewhat less stature (University of Maryland at Baltimore, University of Maryland Baltimore County), although having specialized areas of expertise, elsewhere in the state as well as separately-named state colleges (Towson University, Frostburg State) and a county-based college/junior college system.
