Bloomsburg University’s tradition is based on doing more than just what’s required. It’s based on going the extra mile, taking the extra step. We don’t just “train” students — we help them define their interests and ambitions. Our faculty are here to offer the guidance students need to chart a path toward realizing their goals.

Students have abundant opportunities here on campus to hone and develop leadership skills and creative talents. They can explore internship possibilities, pursue undergraduate research projects with faculty and engage community service projects. All of these experiences help students stand out to future employers.

Bloomsburg University understands the power of the network — 80 percent of all jobs are found through networking. Our students have plenty of opportunities to tap into the Husky network of 60,000 alumni and dozens of business partners. In addition to academic courses, our Professional U initiative gives students the chance to take part in experiences that build professional skills each year through their college career as freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors.
