Bloomsburg University is Susquehanna's primary university in the capital city. It offers a variety of majors and most college applicants in the western part of the nation attend there. The university is part of the Susquehanna Higher Education System, focusing in business, education, and health science, with a smaller college for science and technology.

History[]

Bloomsburg University seal

The college was established in 1927 as a teachers college, and in the 1960's expanded adding liberal arts programs, mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences. The name was also changed to Bloomsburg State College.

On Doomsday, the university system began to support the surrounding community with students working in their areas of study. Unfortunately many fled west in an attempt to get away from the perceived and real danger. By 1984 the university was forced to close its doors for the time being.

By 1996 the area had stabilized enough for the government to reopen the university for students. The first year it had a staff of ten members and 73 students.
