Saint Francis University offers higher education in an environment guided by Catholic values and teachings, and inspired by the example of our patron, Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis University is an inclusive learning community that welcomes all people. St. Francis of Assisi found peace and harmony in nature. You will too because at Saint Francis University you’re right in the middle of it. It’s an escape, an inspiration and a challenge all at the same time. High in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, you’ll find a home away from home in this vibrant and safe campus community full of student activities, leadership opportunities and spiritual programs. We even have a championship 9-hole golf course for those who like to take a drive after class.
