Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

What are the academics like at your school?

The most important part of any college experience most certainly is the academics. At Bloomsburg University I feel that I am being challenged in a way that helps to promote my growth as both a student and writer. The classes at Bloomsburg vary from being lecture halls to more personal classes. General education classes are typically more crowded with students while content oriented classes are more personal. For an English secondary education major like myself I take classes that are both content heavy and general. My English classes are smaller, more personal, and interactive. Students get the chance to voice their opinions and take part in class discussions. One of the nicest things to exhibit in these classrooms though, is the enthusiasm students have towards what they are learning. Often times students can be seen out on campus engaging in conversations that were previously held in class. I knew I wanted to become a secondary education english teacher from about the time I started high school. Seeing the enthusiasm my teachers had for their subjects was something that fostered my own interest. At Bloomsburg University the professors are similarly invested. They are interested in helping students develop their own sense of self not only as students but also as professionals in the fields they study. One of my favorite classes i’ve taken so far would have to be my Non-western Lit class. Learning about the middle east and literature was something both interesting and inspiring for me given that my background is Turkish. I found myself immersed in our readings and was able to share my ideas and opinions both in and out of class with one of my favorite professors. If I were to rate Bloomsburg’s academic requirements on a letter grade scale, I would say it stands in the area between the B and C range. To be accepted to Bloomsburg you don’t need to be an A+ student but you do need to show that you are dedicated and hard-working . Most admissions personnel will most likely search for consistency to prove that you are a student who can handle the pressures that come along with academic success. Also, its important that test scores on the SAT’s are reflective of a student who is sufficient in all academic areas and maybe even above-average in some other . On my SAT’S though I scored low on math, my english and reading score made up for those lower areas. That being said, Bloomsburg is a University that is dedicated towards their student’s academic success in order to help prepare them for future job opportunities in the fields they are applying for.
