Lackawanna College

For Those Who Want More, There’s Lackawanna.

Not every student follows the same path—and at Lackawanna College, they don’t have to.

Our students come to us with ambition, resilience, and a desire to build a better future. Some are the first in their families to attend college. Others are restarting, refocusing, or reaching higher. What they all share is one thing: the courage to try—and the determination to succeed.

That’s where we come in.

Lackawanna has long been a place where opportunity is not just offered—it’s created—through accessible programs, personalized support, and a deep commitment to student growth. We meet students where they are and help them build the skills, confidence, and direction to move forward.

Now, we are entering a bold new chapter.

As we finalize our merger with Pierce College in Philadelphia and expand our reach into Bethlehem, Chambersburg, and Greensburg, including growth in skilled trades and workforce programs, Lackawanna is becoming the largest private, nonprofit, open-enrollment college in Pennsylvania.

This growth is about more than size—it’s about impact.
It means more opportunities for students to learn, to earn, and to thrive in careers that strengthen our communities.

Your support during NEPA Gives fuels this momentum. It helps ensure that every student who is ready to take the next step has access to the education, training, and support they deserve.
