UNP - Ashmore Campus History
The university was chartered in May 1848 and opened on December 2, 1850 in Bethany, PA. In the fall of 1854, the Wyoming Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church assumed the running of the school. Two years later, it was purchased by former principal John F. Stoddard. A fire in 1857 threatened to destroy the university but it was rebuilt and continued to thrive in the Northern Pennsylvania area.
The Ashmore Campus was opened in 1987 after renovations to the old city hall building that had been converted to be the local library. Ashmore was selected because of the business and community partnerships that provide experiential learning, internships and networking opportunities for students. While continuing to foreground its core value of providing highly personalized learning experiences in a caring and supportive campus environment, the satellite campus will expand its use of technology to enhance student learning, increase collaboration and modernize all aspects of campus programs and services.
