History

It was established as Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. In 1856, it was renamed Bloomsburg Literary Institute. The name became Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School in 1869. In 1916, the state of Pennsylvania took control and named it Bloomsburg State Normal School. The name was changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1927. In 1960, the name was changed to Bloomsburg State College. The name was changed to Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania on July 1, 1983. [6]

Bloomsburg terminated its Greek Life program on May 13, 2021. [7]

In July 2021, Pennsylvania higher education officials announced that Bloomsburg would merge with Mansfield University and Lock Haven University in response to financial difficulties and declining enrollment, and each institution would represent a campus of a single university. [8] In March 2022, the new institution was created to oversee the three campuses, and was named the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. [9] [10]
