University of Scranton

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution of nearly 4,000 undergraduates and more than 1,500 graduate students, The University of Scranton delivers a meaningful education that challenges its students morally, spiritually and intellectually.

Our 58-acre campus offers the best of both worlds—the city and the mountains. We are in the heart of the city of Scranton, in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Northeast, just two hours from New York City and Philadelphia. In recent years, we have invested more than $240 million in campus improvements, including new residence halls, a science center and the state-of-the-art Leahy Hall, which houses our physical therapy, occupational therapy and exercise science departments.

This University is more than a respected institution; it’s also a caring, nurturing community whose graduates are known for their devotion to the welfare of other human beings and by their special commitment to the pursuit of social justice.

Scranton develops leaders in every sense through rigorous preparation in students’ chosen fields coupled with a commitment to educating the whole person in the liberal arts tradition. Students extend their academic experience through participation in honors programs, internships, faculty-student research and study abroad, and the university provides excellent preparation for medical and other health professions doctoral programs, law school, graduate school, and post-graduate fellowships and scholarships.
