The University of Scranton

Our tradition of opening doors for each other is a custom — and a courtesy — you’ll often observe across our campus. “Opening doors” speaks to our close community, but — even more — it is a reminder of the immense opportunities and bright futures that await all who come here.

99 % of the Class of 2021 were employed, continuing their education or engaged in service within one year of graduating.

Open the Door to a Bright Future

Inspired by our Catholic and Jesuit mission, this is a rigorous, in-depth education designed for personal and professional success.

We offer our students a practical, purposeful education that supports their career aspirations and helps them recognize their unique gifts.

Regardless of the path you choose, there are fundamental skills and attributes that leading employers, graduate and professional schools want — and that The University of Scranton provides.

Here, you’ll acquire relevant knowledge and professional skills, enhanced by a sense of purpose and meaning — the keys to success that will open doors for a lifetime.

Founded in 1888, Scranton is one of 27 Jesuit universities in the U.S. with a combined network of more than 2.5 million alumni.

Discover Your Purpose. Unlock Your Passion.

An education should inform, but it should also enlighten. By first seeking your purpose — asking yourself, who am I and how can I make a difference? — you’ll align your goals with your deepest values and develop a passion and energy with which to pursue them. Finding your purpose — becoming the person you truly are, doing what you were meant to do — it makes for a successful career. It makes for a fulfilled life.

A DEEPE R, MORE MEANINGFUL EDUCATI ON

At The University of Scranton, we will help you to discover meaning and direction, shaping not only your career, but very importantly, the person you will become. Here, in a uniquely encouraging community, you’ll explore and discover your purpose and potential. You’ll unearth a clear vision for your life. Emboldened by a strong purpose, inspired to make a difference, you’ll set out into the world as your best self.

ASPIRE TO YOUR BEST

Our Catholic and Jesuit tradition makes possible a deeper, more transformative college experience. It is an education based on respect for the individual. It is a pursuit of excellence grounded in gratitude. It is a learning experience of rigor and values — an education of the mind, but also of the heart. A Scranton education is an exciting journey of discovery, as you learn who you are, why you are here and how you can use your unique gifts to make a difference in the world.

Scranton ranks among the top 25 Catholic colleges in the nation according to multiple sources.

Magis

A Scranton education reflects the Jesuit concept of the magis a restless pursuit of excellence grounded in gratitude.

Cura Personalis

A hallmark of our Jesuit education is our core value of cura personalis a respect for the uniqueness of each individual.

More than Success : Ethical Success

Ethics are about making the right choices. They are the hallmark of character — essential for success in one’s career and life. Today’s employers want college graduates who have the courage to act in honest, trustworthy and responsible ways, which includes making difficult choices and judgments. Integrity is a fundamental imperative — both in the education of today’s graduates and during the course and conduct of their professional career.

DEVELOPING PRINCIPLED LEADERS

A strong, moral character is integral to a Scranton education. Whatever your area of study, a Jesuit education will challenge you — intellectually, spiritually and morally — to help you to grow into a capable, honorable leader. Integrity, humility, tolerance and empathy — these are central to our CatholicJesuit tradition and to the personal and professional preparation of every Scranton student.

Agents of Change

Our Jesuit tradition teaches students to be active agents of change through responsible action on moral and ethical issues.

David Dzurec, Ph.D. Interim Dean, College of Arts & Sciences

“ The philosophy and theology courses within our core curriculum give you the tools to be an ethical person through the process of understanding and articulating who you are and why you believe what you believe.

Knowledge is Power. We are the Source.

In an information-driven world, knowledge is key. Employers are looking for graduates who bring a wider set of skills and higher levels of learning than ever before. The most valued employees bring both broad and industry-specific expertise, and even more, the desire and ability to continue learning, to keep pace in today’s ever-evolving workplace. The greater your proficiency, the greater your opportunities will be. In an information age, knowledge is relevant, it is valuable — it is power.

A STUDY IN EXCELLENCE

At The University of Scranton, our rigorous, in-depth education provides the field-specific knowledge and competencies

needed for professional success. Our programs are taught in small classes, led by faculty who are experts in their fields. Experiential opportunities enable students to apply their learning in real-world environments. Taught with excellence and meaning in the Jesuit tradition, this is an education that will provide the insights, skills and experience to make your mark in your career, and a difference in the world.

(FUL)BRIGHT STUDENTS

In recent years, The Chronicle of Higher Education has listed The University of Scranton among the “top producers” of Fulbright awards. Since 1972, 127 of our graduates have earned a Fulbright.

The 2019 mock trial team competed in the opening round of the American Mock Trial Association’s national tournament.

The One Constant: Change

The world is constantly changing and evolving. Employers need well-rounded employees who can learn and grow as changes come. At The University of Scranton, our Catholic and Jesuit commitment to a liberal arts education will help you develop much-needed flexibility and adaptability, as you acquire essential critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. As change comes — and it will — you’ll have the ability, confidence and willingness to grow and change with it.

THE LIBERAL ARTS: DISCOVER YOUR PASSION

A liberal arts education will not only prepare you for a changing future, but it will also help send you off in the right direction. Characterized by its breadth and depth, it exposes you to a wide array of disciplines — from the natural sciences and social sciences to the humanities and communication. With the opportunity to sample a variety of subjects, you’ll discover unknown interests and strengths. You’ll chart a clear direction for your college study, and you’ll pursue it with a passion.

Work Well with Others

Leadership and teamwork are key skills in today’s world. Because most jobs require some sort of collaboration, employers want employees who can relate well with others and work effectively within groups. Employers want leaders who can think beyond themselves and their own desires, who have the ability to motivate and inspire and who can leverage the strengths and talents of others to achieve a common, productive goal.

STEP OUT, TAKE PART AND LEAD Scranton students find many opportunities to develop leadership skills, taking advantage of literally hundreds of leadership opportunities on campus. Students help plan and guide campus activities and events. They participate in leadership programs and workshops. They engage in extensive co-curricular activities in each of our three colleges.

A well-rounded Scranton education encourages active participation, helping students to find their passion. The possibilities for getting involved and leading are many — and they are immediately available, even for first-year students.

LEADERSHIP CAPSTONE EXPERIENCE

Designed for experienced student leaders, this yearlong program allows students to “make meaning” of their previous leadership experiences through learning reflection and advanced skill practice in a small cohort setting.

Each year, Scranton students serve 170,000 hours domestically and internationally, working with 120 non-profit organizations.

home-heart

Our Office Of Equity & Diversity is committed to building a welcoming, diverse and inclusive community and to equip our students to serve in an increasingly diverse world.

A Larger View of the World

In an increasingly interconnected world, you’ll need a broad understanding of the people and cultures around you. Having a diverse perspective means respecting one another’s differences and being open, inclusive and sensitive to all. Those who can work effectively in a global workforce will be in higher demand as organizations continue to expand across cultures and the world.

RESPECTING OUR DIFFERENCES

At The University of Scranton, diversity is a critical and integral part of our mission. Respect for the uniqueness of each individual lies at the very core of who we are. Living and studying on a multicultural campus, venturing abroad to experience a larger world, you’ll acquire a deeper appreciation of diversity. You’ll be challenged by different viewpoints. You’ll become more aware and experienced — ready to thrive in a 21st-century global world.

A Community for All

Making our campus a safe and inclusive space is paramount to our Jesuit mission and tradition. As part of this commitment, we offer a number of resources and support services, councils and committees, and connection opportunities specifically focused on diversity and inclusion. The University released a campus-wide plan for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in April 2022. These opportunities for awareness, education and dialogue on issues related to diversity expand our understandings of identities, cultures, privilege, oppression, equity and justice. We’re gaining a deeper view of the world, and of ourselves.

scranton.edu/diversity-inclusion

The Jesuit tradition instills an appreciation for diversity and inclusiveness on our campus. We understand that while there are differences between people, there’s also a oneness in being human, making all deserving of respect and love.

“ Scranton is one of the friendliest and most inclusive campuses anywhere. Here, everyone is really open to who you are and what you are doing. It’s never, ‘you need to be this or conform to that.’ Rather, you’re celebrated and respected as the special person you are.

”

Jordan King ’17 B.S. Nursing Registered Nurse Vanderbilt University Medical Center

IN THEIR WORDS

Our students have studied in 53 countries and on every continent except Antarctica.

A Global Education

We live in a global world, and to succeed, students need a global vision. With a full offering of study abroad, travel courses and service experiences, The University of Scranton enables students to engage with different peoples and cultures, making our graduates more confident, more wellrounded — and, in the end, more marketable.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD

One of the most common remarks students make upon their return to campus after studying abroad is that “it was a

life-changing experience.” Studying abroad provides the opportunity for students to develop skills, knowledge and experience that they simply cannot gain while at Scranton.

Students from nearly every academic major have studied abroad. Whether you choose to explore the world for a semester, an academic year, a January or Summer Session, or during a faculty-led travel course, going abroad is an experience that will broaden your perspective, enhance your sense of self — and, in more ways than you can imagine, change your life.

Studying and serving abroad not only helps you develop personally in many ways, it also makes you highly attractive to future employers. Here are eight reasons employers value graduates who have studied or served abroad.

1. You learn firsthand about the world around you.

2. You develop a cultural sensitivity and awareness.

3. You learn problem-solving skills.

4. You become more self-sufficient.

5. You prove yourself to be adaptable.

6. You open yourself to new and different perspectives.

7. You gain an appreciation for diversity.

8. You show initiative and a confidence in taking risks.
