As a potential transfer student, we understand you want to get a head start on your bachelor's degree. Starting at a PA community college is a great way to earn credits, at an economical cost, and work towards a degree. With the reverse transfer agreement, a student at any PA community college can transfer to Commonwealth U and potentially finish their associate's degree, while starting on their bachelor's degree. By completing both your associate and bachelor degrees at Commonwealth U, you can increase your career opportunities and earning potential.

The transfer scholarship agreement between Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania (Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield) and Lehigh Carbon Community College will span a term of five years, from 2025 through 2030.

The admissions rep and my advisor were so helpful with connecting me to every resource I needed and helping me navigate the system. They provided me with as much insight possible to be able to do my best during my first semester here. And thanks to their help, I felt prepared to take on the semester with ease, and confidence.

Meadow Halcomb, transfer accounting major

After completing my general education, I wanted a specialized degree in a well-respected program that was accessible and affordable to me, too. Bloomsburg was just what I was looking for. In my situation, between scholarships and grants, my attendance was at a minimal cost. Now cheaper than community college. I'm incredibly grateful for this.

Jill Hartranft, transfer secondary education major

It can feel hard to open your wings after attending community college, especially if you’re residing at home. I’ve fortunately met my very best friends in this place and have made enough memories to last for the rest of my life in a place that feels like home. There are weekly events to get involved, there are many on-campus employment opportunities, and the staff in every building is incredibly kind. If you're nervous, that's okay and justified. Bloomsburg has welcomed me with open arms and is ready to do the same for you.

Alex Miller, transfer sport management major

Bloomsburg made it smooth to transfer by having an agreement with LCCC to transfer all my classes over with no problems. Bloomsburg allows you to get hands-on experience in any field, which is something I found out when I got here. It's made me fall more in love with this school and find amazing new friends from all over Pennsylvania.
