At Alvernia, we are prepared to provide a smooth transition for undergraduate and graduate students by offering completion scholarships, expedited admissions, and generous credit transfers.
We write today to share with you our City of Reading arts community, who, with Alvernia University, stand ready to support you in continuing your artistic and academic pursuits. Alvernia’s partnership with GoggleWorks Center for the Arts allows students to work alongside professional artists and be part of a vibrant artistic community as part of the Bachelor of Arts in Creativity Program.
Reading is home to an engaging arts scene. Our city is rich with cultural events and institutions, creating an environment where students can become easily involved with our flourishing arts community.

From the Reading Symphony Orchestra to the various galleries and theaters, something inspiring is always happening in Reading like the Reading FilmFEST and Berks Arts, a showcase of community art partnerships.
