This month marks the completion of the consolidation of six of Pennsylvania’s state-owned universities into two entities.
As of Friday, Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Masfield universities are officially known as Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, while Clarion, Edinboro and California universities are now known as Pennsylvania Western University or PennWest. The combined schools will share resources and personnel while retaining separate identifies and athletic programs.
The move was seen as a way to keep the state system intact and viable, amid rising costs and declining enrollment. The combined schools will begin accepting new and returning students in August.
