This is an exciting time for our Edinboro community! Edinboro University is pursuing an integration with California and Clarion universities – two schools that also have a rich heritage here in western Pennsylvania. The goals are to unlock new opportunities for students, including a wider variety of academic programs, and to hold down the cost of higher education for students at all three campuses.
• Edinboro will continue to welcome residential and commuter students to our beautiful campus, our home for nearly 165 years. • As an Edinboro student, you’ll have access to more courses, more faculty and more learning opportunities than ever before – including the in-person classes and hands-on learning that have always been part of the Edinboro experience. • In-person, real-time remote, hybrid and online courses will expand your options and give you access to a richer array of coursework and faculty expertise. • You will continue to receive the financial aid, personal attention and academic support you need to reach your educational goals and build the future you envision.
Our plans for the future are as bold and bright as the students we serve.
• You can enjoy a vibrant campus experience that includes leadership and service opportunities, athletics, cultural activities, recreation, student-led clubs and more.
