From Franciscan University of Steubenville

Franciscan University of Steubenville is no ordinary university, and a Franciscan education is no ordinary education.

At Franciscan, we know that God wants you to grow in wisdom and understanding, discovering more about who he is, who you are, and how you’re called to live. We also know that God has called you to serve him in this world in some particular way—as a scientist, economist, teacher, or social worker—and you need to acquire the skills necessary for answering that call.

A Franciscan University education will help you achieve both.
