- Founded in 1858, the university enrolls approximately 1,900 students in the School of Arts, Humanities
and Communications, School of Natural and Social Sciences, and Sigmund Weis School of Business. A Susquehanna education is
distinguished by a strong liberal arts program enhanced by equally strong professional programs in areas such as business,
education and communications. Degrees are offered for the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Science.
- Susquehanna is small enough to be flexible, yet large enough to offer a wide variety of choices - more
than 50 major emphases, 45 minors and 850 courses. Susquehanna offers a challenging Honors Program for exceptional students
and emphasizes experience-based learning, including internships, study-abroad semesters and the university's award-winning
community service programs. Small classes and a student-faculty ratio of about 14 to 1 offer students personal attention and
challenging assignments.
- Susquehanna is one of only 10 national liberal arts colleges in the country to have a business school
accredited by the prestigious AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, which sets
high standards for curriculum and faculty.
- Students are also offered extensive opportunities for involvement and leadership in university life.
They can choose from more than 100 student organizations, 23 intercollegiate sports, numerous intramural sports, and a full
schedule of lectures, concerts, films, plays and social events.
- Susquehanna University is recognized in several guidebooks to selective colleges including The Fiske
Guide to Colleges and Peterson's Competitive Colleges. Since 2002, U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" has
included Susquehanna in its list of National Liberal Arts Colleges, which represent the best 217 institutions for
undergraduate learning in the country. Previously, in the 1995-2001 editions, U.S. News ranked SU as the number one regional
liberal arts college in the North.
