University of Scranton "Not where I breathe but where I love, I live" - Robert Southwell, S.J. Our 58-acre campus offers the best of both worlds—the city and the mountains.
(899)

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution of nearly 3,700 undergraduates and more than 1,300 graduate students, The University of Scranton delivers a meaningful education that challenges its students morally, spiritually and intellectually. We are in the heart of the city of Scranton, in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Northeast, just two hours from New York City and Philadelphia. In recent years, we have invested more than $295 million in campus improvements, including new residence halls, a science center and the state-of-the-art Leahy Hall, which houses our physical therapy, occupational therapy and exercise science departments. This University is more than a respected institution; it’s also a caring, nurturing community whose graduates are known for their devotion to the welfare of other human beings and by their special commitment to the pursuit of social justice. Scranton develops leaders in every sense through rigorous preparation in students’ chosen fields coupled with a commitment to educating the whole person in the liberal arts tradition. Students extend their academic experience through participation in honors programs, internships, faculty-student research and study abroad, and the university provides excellent preparation for medical and other health professions doctoral programs, law school, graduate school, and post-graduate fellowships and scholarships.

Wednesday, Oct. 7, The University of Scranton is hosting the 25th annual U.S. Conference on Disability, where we will commemorate a quarter-century of advocacy, education and leadership dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. This year’s conference will focus on disability inclusion and careers, as well as transforming barriers into opportunities.

Founded through the generosity and vision of Edward Leahy ’68, H’01, and Patricia Leahy and inspired by their son, Edward R. Leahy, Jr., the conference has become one of the nation’s longest-running university-based forums on disability issues.

We look forward to a day of inspiring conversation and honoring the memory of Edward R. Leahy, Jr.
