There’s no better way to get a feel for our beautiful, self-contained campus and Scranton’s charming downtown than to experience it for yourself. In fact, so many students tell us that their visit is what solidified their decision to apply.

Uncommonly Affordable

The education students receive at the University of Scranton is as transformative as it is affordable. Of the first-year aid applicants who were enrolled in the previous fall semester, 99% were offered funding from University scholarships and need-based grants.

Active, fulfilling, and comfortable—that’s life as a Royal. Our students eat well, sleep well and engage in clubs, sports teams, community service, campus ministry, campus activities and more. And as a Catholic and Jesuit university, we’re deeply rooted in values like respect and care for others.
