We

offer five undergraduate
programs, master's degree programs in
several fields, and a doctorate of study
program in elementary education that
is offered in cooperation with Indiana
University of Pennsylvania.

Granted university status in 1983,
Bloomsburg is organized into three
colleges; Arts and Sciences, Business,
and Professional Studies; and two
schools, Graduate Studies and
Extended Programs.

The Harvey A. Andruss Library
Bloomsburg has more than 307,000
bound volumes,

at

1.4 million microtexts,

and a 375-volume rare
book collection. The library can
accommodate 400 readers and uses a

Where we live...
The Town of Bloomsburg is located

along the banks of the Susquehanna
River, about 80 miles north of
Harrisburg. You'll find a delicate
balance in Bloomsburg
the kind of
country living and friendliness you'd
expect from a community of 12,000;
along with the cosmopolitan flavor of a



college campus of 6,500 students from
both rural and urban areas throughout
the Commonwealth and across the

nation.
