Tuition, Cost & Aid

Bloomsburg is especially advantageous for education majors; initially set up as a state school for educating prospective teachers, BU's tradition in education excellence continues. Speech pathology is another strong major - it's one of the top 10 schools on the East Coast for speech pathology. Accounting and Business are also popular.

It's a state school in PA, and so, if you are a PA resident, it's pretty cheap. Tuition usually runs at $6,000 a year, including fees associated with it. Even for out of state students, the price to attend here is much cheaper than it is at a lot of other schools. For having many professional accreditations and outstanding academic programs recognized nationally (especially business, chemistry, and education), this is a great price for such an education!

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the larger, more expensive universities, but do not want to go to a community college, Bloomsburg is a good choice. The tuition and fees are reasonable for a state school, even with the recent increase of tuition. Bloomsburg does not offer many scholarships to freshmen, but there are exclusive scholarships offered to transfer students and upperclassmen. The majority of them pertain to your declared major. Overall, Bloomsburg is a big bang for the buck.

This school is super affordable and I'm getting a good education. I'm a commuter and it makes it A LOT cheaper, with grants and scholarships helping me only have to pay about 6,000 out of pocket for a full year. The books can be expensive, but they are easliy found online for much cheaper prices. Bloom is an accredited school that provides some wonderful facilities and classes that would cost three times as much at any other school.

As a part of the Pennsylvania State School System, Bloomsburg offers a very affordable tuition. Additionally, there are many different grants and scholarships that incoming student can apply for to ease the costs of tuition and housing. While it may not carry the same prestige associated with some of the larger or better-known schools, the education received is still of an excellent quality.

As an out of state student from New Jersey, BU is still cheaper than most NJ state universities. Given the quality of education at bloomsburg, it's (mostly) modern facilities, and general college atmosphere I'm surprised at how inexpensive bloomsburg is.

This is a state University so it is relatively cheap. As a PA citizen you have more of an advantage as well. The books can be pretty expensive but because the professors put their requirements online about 2 months before the semester starts, a lot of students try to find cheaper prices on sites such as amazon or ebay. Bloomsburg is an accredited school that offers a wide variety of majors. The two most popular are probably Education and Speech Pathology. If you are interested in Speech Pathology/Audiology, Bloomsburg has one of the top accredited programs for both a bachelors and a masters degree. Bloomsburg is also a great school for those requiring financial aid. They also offer many work study positions each semester that I would highly recommend you look into.

Bloomsburg University is definitely not an expensive school compared to others. Financial aid plays a big role for your college tuition. They also offer scholarships! Paying for books can be a hassle sometimes so they provide a book loan in the beginning of the semester to buy books that you need for class and they will take it out of your refund check. It's amazing what they can do to help you. Some people say that meal plans are expensive but it is totally worth every penny! You can select your meal plan to what is affordable for you!

Being a state school, it is a cheaper option than private schools. I believe what Bloomsburg included in their bills seems agreeable for what I received there.
