ALMA MATER
Bloomsburg State
We proudly sing to thee
Of glories and of honors
That have framed thy majesty;
Though we'll depart
Not one will hesitate
To pledge his lifelong loyalty
To Bloomsburg State!
Bloomsburg State,
Stand proud against thy foes,
Let victory thy colors see
While honor be thy goal;
Maroon and Gold
Let none thy fame berate,
As forward on to victory
Goes Bloomsburg State!

BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE
Bloomsburg State College, one of the 14 Commonwealth-owned colleges and university, began as an Academy in 1839 "to teach youth the elements of a classical '3ducation_;;
In 1856 it was chartered as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, and in 1869 it became a State
Normal School.
The school was purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1916, and in 1920
teacher education became the sole institutional purpose. The name was changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1927, and authority was granted to offer the degree, Bachelor
of Science in Education. In 1960 the institution became Bloomsburg State College, with
authorization to grant the degree, Bachelor of Arts, for liberal arts programs in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. That same year graduate study was authorized.
The college currently offers 62 baccalaureate degree programs in the Arts and Sciences,
Business, and Professional Studies. Teacher certification is available in 20 undergraduate
program areas. At the graduate level the college has 31 masters degree programs and five
teacher education certification programs. Through the School of Extended Programs, the
college extends educational opportunities to people of all ages who wish to pursue knowledge
for professional advancement or for their own enrichment.
Today, 785 young people are receiving baccalaureate degrees; 61 are receiving masters
degrees.

We proudly sing to thee
Of glories and of honors
That have framed thy majesty;
Though we'll depart
Not one will hesitate
To pledge his lifelong loyalty
To Bloomsburg State!

Stand proud against thy foes,
Let victory thy colors see
While honor be thy goal;
Maroon and Gold
Let none thy fame berate,
As forward on to victory
Goes Bloomsburg State!
