- Mission
- Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, a public, four-year institution, is one of 14 members of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Founded in 1839 as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, the university currently enrolls nearly 8,600 undergraduate students in the Colleges of Education, Business, Liberal Arts and Science and Technology and more than 900 graduate students in upper-level programs, including a doctoral program in clinical audiology. Ninety percent of the university's students are Pennsylvania residents and 7 percent hail from neighboring New Jersey. Bloomsburg University offers a wide array of student activities and programs, modern residence halls, a well-equipped Student Recreation Center and restaurant-quality dining, including an on-campus Starbucks. The university has 18 intercollegiate athletic programs, more than 160 organizations to provide opportunities for leadership and growth and 11 Living Learning Communities that bring together students with common academic interests who live in the same residence hall, participate in activities and enroll in a cluster of related courses. The university actively supports an atmosphere of civic engagement, encouraging students to get involved through political and volunteer activities. More than 750 companies, organizations and agencies provide academic internships to Bloomsburg students. Students also may take advantage of support offerings provided through Academic Advisement, Accommodative Services, Act 101/Educational Opportunity Program, Developmental Instruction, Student Support Services, University Tutorial Services and other programs. Bloomsburg University is located adjacent to the Town of Bloomsburg, a community with 12,000 full-time residents. The safety of the small community extends to the well-lighted campus where security measures include an emergency message notification system (e-mail, phone and text message), emergency call boxes and continuous patrolling by the university's 17 commissioned police officers who work closely with the professional town police force. Entrance to all residence halls is by card-access only and, for extra security, classrooms may be locked from inside.
