Are you looking for a college experience that challenges you intellectually while deepening your faith? At Franciscan University of Steubenville, you do not have to choose between academic excellence and your Catholic values. Located in Ohio, our University provides a joyful, faithful community where you can grow into the person God is calling you to be.

Academics rooted in truth
Whether you are called to nursing, business, education, theology, or the humanities, our rigorous undergraduate programs integrate a deeply Catholic worldview into every classroom. The University offers dozens of majors led by faithful professors who are experts in their fields and mentors in your spiritual journey. You will graduate with the professional skills needed to succeed and the moral foundation required to lead with integrity.

A vibrant student life
Life on campus is dynamic, supportive, and distinctly Catholic. Instead of traditional sororities or fraternities, our students join Faith Households—small communities centered on shared prayer, accountability, and lifelong friendships. Beyond the classroom, you will find intramural sports, academic clubs, and endless opportunities for service. With daily Mass, eucharistic adoration, and lively festivals, the University ensures your social life and spiritual life grow hand in hand.

Formed to transform the world
We believe college is about more than earning a degree; it is about formation. From powerful campus ministries to renowned guest speakers, every aspect of the University is designed to equip undergraduate students to evangelize and lead. Come join a passionate community of young Catholics ready to make a difference in the world.

Study abroad in Austria
Experience the trip of a lifetime at our restored fourteenth-century monastery in Gaming, Austria. Over 150 students travel to our Kartause campus each semester to live, study, and pray in the foothills of the Austrian Alps. You will take rigorous classes taught in English by University professors, hike beautiful trails, and participate in weekend excursions to Vienna, Salzburg, and Assisi. It is an unforgettable opportunity to grow your Catholic faith while walking where the great saints and minds of Western civilization once walked.
