Expand your professional network, grow your skills, and help finance your graduate education. The following graduate assistant positions are available across each of the Commonwealth University campus locations.
Commonwealth University invites former Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield graduate students to return to complete their degree.
If you plan on taking courses at Commonwealth U, but not completing a degree, you are considered a "Non-degree" student. This might apply to students who enrolled at another institution, those looking to enroll in a specialized topic course, or professional development.
Graduate Program Early Admission
Early admission allows students to count approved graduate‑level courses toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. Once admitted to a master’s program, students can complete up to 40% of their graduate credits early, and those credits also fulfill upper‑level bachelor’s requirements. This “double counting” shortens the time needed to earn both degrees.
Graduate Assistantships
Expand your professional network, grow your skills, and help finance your graduate education through a CU Graduate Assistantship (GA)! Graduate Assistantships are open to all regularly admitted students pursuing a Master's or Doctoral degree.
Tuition and Fees
At Commonwealth U, you can spend more time making your way up the ladder and less time paying down the loans. We were founded on the idea of giving hardworking people an affordable, world-class education. And we’re still committed to that vision today, in every single way.
