¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ

For more than 100 years, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ University has, in the words of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, prepared students for the world in which they are destined to live.

With an enrollment of 2,000 students in traditional undergraduate, online, graduate and doctoral programs, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ offers a liberal arts education coupled with professional preparation that prepares students not only for their first job but for all the changes that will happen in their lifetime.

¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ faculty and staff are building innovative academic programs that meet the needs of ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ students and of our region's business and community leaders.

Through the Office of Academic Innovation and Planning, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ has developed more than 40 new academic programs to meet the region’s workforce needs and prepare students for careers in growing fields, including the University’s first doctoral degree - the Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Historically, our liberal arts preparation has been integrated with a practical worldview. We embrace the model of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Seton HIll, who have made real change in the world, through our commitment to preparing students and to creating and enhancing academic programs that impact our region and world.

The new programs reflect ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s ability to quickly react to workforce needs and develop academic majors and partnerships that will provide our students' opportunities to find careers in areas of growth while maintaining a commitment to the liberal arts skills that employers want in their employees.

And, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ is working to make an education more affordable for students and their families through increased scholarship opportunities as well as a three-year degree program offered in more than 20 majors.

¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ's efforts have not gone unnoticed. The university has consistently been named among the top schools in the North by U.S. News and World Report as well as a Best Value School and Best College for Veterans. We’ve also been honored by Princeton Review and named a College of Distinction. ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s mobile technology program has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School since 2012. And our student-athletes routinely achieve the Top GPA in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ is well-positioned to carry forth its mission to educate students to think and act critically, creatively, and ethically as productive members of society committed to transforming the world well into its next 100 years.

Sincerely,

Mary C. Finger, Ed.D.
