Commonwealth University-Clearfield Location to Close Following Spring 2027 Semester
Clearfield, Pa. (01/21/2025) — Commonwealth University has announced the Clearfield teaching location will close following the completion of the 2026-27 academic year. Students will still be accepted and may enroll for the Physician Assistant and Associate of Science in Nursing programs for summer or fall 2025.
This decision comes after a thorough analysis of enrollment trends, academic offerings, facilities, financial impacts and future sustainability. The declining enrollment and the need for significant investments in the Clearfield location were key factors in this decision.
The university assures that Clearfield students, faculty and staff will receive full support during this transition. No currently enrolled students will be adversely impacted by this closure.
All currently enrolled Clearfield students, including those starting in fall 2025, can complete their studies and earn a degree prior to the summer of 2027.
All faculty and staff at Clearfield will be offered opportunities to continue their employment at the Lock Haven campus of CU.
CU's campuses in Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield will remain open and continue to accept new students for fall 2025 and beyond.
