Why Choose Bloomsburg University?
Quality in the classroom . . .
Bloomsburg provides a quality educational experience for its students. That experience begins in the classroom where students are taught by professional faculty - not graduate assistants. At Bloomsburg, there is plenty of opportunity for personal interaction with professors. Faculty are involved with their students' lives and spend countless hours advising the 150 clubs and organizations that operate on campus and meeting with students informally. To enhance teaching, Liberal Arts faculty typically publish books and journal articles and present professional papers at regional, national, and international conferences. Faculty work to integrate research into the classroom. These research and writing skills enhance the qualifications of Liberal Arts graduates when they seek employment. Many qualified students are given the opportunity to work with faculty on research projects and make presentations at professional society meetings.
Quality outside the classroom . . .
An organized academic support system helps students succeed at Bloomsburg. The system begins even before students arrive on campus. Freshmen are assigned an academic advisor to help them select future course sequences. Once on campus, students can turn to their professors for help or request services from the peer tutoring program. Students who wish to expand their horizons can study abroad for a semester, an academic year or a summer, undertake internships, or participate in "career days," where alumni return to the university to share experiences in finding jobs or advancing careers.
Quality and value . . .
U.S. News and World Report has consistently ranked Bloomsburg in the top 20 percent in overall quality among regional universities in the U.S. The weekly news magazine also named Bloomsburg as one of the nation's "best buys" in higher education. Money Adviser called the university's honors program for superior students "a first rate...program sponsored by a major state university."
