Logan Smedley, Municipal Police Academy
Logan Smedley of Watsontown, PA, exemplifies Commonwealth University’s immediate impact
in addressing Pennsylvania’s urgent workforce needs.
This past November, Smedley completed the intensive Act 120 training at CU’s Municipal
Police Academy in Mansfield. He was one of several cadets who received an employment
offer before graduating from the Police Academy and is now a full-time officer with
the Wellsboro Police Department.
“It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. To be honest, the effort
and passion that all of our instructors put into teaching us was incredible,” said
Smedley.
Commonwealth University is the only institution in Pennsylvania that integrates a
Police Academy into its academic curriculum. Students at the Bloomsburg, Lock Haven,
and Mansfield campuses of CU can earn either an associate or bachelor’s degree in
criminal justice while also completing the Act 120 requirements to become municipal
police officers.

Lock Haven has a $40 million state-of-the-art science facility that opened in 2013.
Students pursuing Health and P.E. will earn certification to teach both health and physical education. Most institutions only offer one or the other.
Students majoring in Health Science who take Advanced Anatomy will learn anatomy in a very hands-on way by exploring human cadavers in the LHU cadaver lab.
Our Business and Accounting programs are so closely aligned that students can earn a B.S. in both areas by taking a few extra courses.
