At Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, we recognize the dedication and resilience of military family members. Our commitment is to provide flexible, affordable, and purpose-driven education that moves with you — both in-person and online — supporting your goals no matter where your journey leads.​

Choose from more than 70 innovative undergraduate and graduate programs offered across our Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield campuses — as well as fully online options. We also offer workforce development certificates and short-term training programs designed to help you gain practical skills and advance your career wherever military life takes you.​

 

Programs That Move With You​

At Commonwealth University, our career training programs help military spouses and dependents build in-demand skills for rewarding careers. Whether you’re starting fresh, changing fields, or advancing your expertise, our flexible, non-credit programs — developed by industry professionals and offered both online and in person — provide practical training and personalized support to help you succeed.​

We understand that military life can be unpredictable and demanding — for both service members and their families. That’s why we offer flexible, high-quality online and distance learning programs designed to move with you, making it easier to balance education with the responsibilities and changes that come with military life.​

Get the Most From Your Educational Benefits​

Our team includes military veterans and family members who truly understand the challenges and rewards of military life. We’re here to support you every step of the way and help you make the most of your military educational benefits.​

Through the Military Family Education Program (MFEP), Pennsylvania National Guard members who commit to an additional six years of service can provide their spouses and children with up to five years (or 10 semesters) of tuition-free education at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania.​
