In 1895, the Institute became Susquehanna University. Today, Susquehanna is a selective, residential, undergraduate university. At the same time, we offer the specialized, in-depth preparation students need to succeed in graduate or professional school or in a job after graduation. Artistic performance and athletic abilities, leadership, and community service all enhance campus life. The University recruits faculty with excellent academic credentials 91 percent hold the doctorate and a proven commitment to teaching.
Students organize campus activities and conduct student government.
These experiences prepare them to take active roles in the larger world community. A Susquehanna education focuses entirely on the undergraduate years. Faculty advisors are readily available and willing to spend time with individual students. Teaching is interactive. Classes are usually small and are taught by well-respected professors who encourage lively classroom discussion.
