A Brief Overview of Franciscan University of Steubenville
Franciscan University of Steubenville is a Catholic, liberal arts institution dedicated to providing, in an environment of free intellectual inquiry, the kind of education that develops mature Christian men and women. These persons may, building on the foundations of their education received at the University, engage in personally satisfying careers, serve others to the best of their abilities, and develop their capacity for intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth.
In the spirit of authentic, Catholic higher education, Franciscan University of Steubenville emphasizes the formation of strong, moral character and critical thinking. Our on-campus enrollment of over 3,400 includes students (on campus and online) from all 50 states and 17 foreign countries.
Franciscan University is proud of its alumni, students, and faculty who play key roles in both public and religious sectors of society. They are examples of Christian character, charity, and competence in business, psychology, education, research, ecclesial service, athletics, health care, and medicine. Regional reunions, our Franciscan Magazine, and a robust online and social media presence keep the University and its staff in close contact with Franciscan University graduates.
