Saint Francis University

Founded in 1847, Saint Francis University is the oldest Franciscan institution of higher learning in the United States. Saint Francis University is a Catholic, coeducational liberal arts University sponsored by the Franciscans and is one of the first Catholic co-ed colleges in the nation. Our international students have gone on to become physicians, teachers, engineers, accountants, chemists, and environmentalists. They succeed in all walks of life because they expect a lot from Saint Francis University, and they receive it. As an international student you can expect a lot more from Saint Francis University than clean, mountain air. You will have the opportunity to experience a warm, value-based culture in a rural setting on campus and still have access to nearby cities like Pittsburgh.
