For 60 years, Franciscan University of Steubenville has striven to educate and send forth men and women who know those answers, who know that healing and renewal only come from Christ, and who are prepared to bring Christ and be Christ to the culture. We have done so, in part, through our challenging liberal arts curriculum. We have also done so by remaining faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church despite tremendous pressure from the culture and the higher education
leaders to follow the path toward secularization.

Our decision to remain committed to the integration of faith and reason in every
aspect of our University’s life has inspired other schools to return
to their intellectual and spiritual roots. It has also enabled
us to send out into the world graduates who are marked by
the courage, conviction, and compassion of Christ, graduates
who are slowly but surely renewing the culture.

Through our $25 million capital campaign, “Leading the
Renaissance in Catholic Higher Education,” we want to
build on that legacy by improving and expanding what
Franciscan University can offer future generations of students.
From providing more scholarship assistance to strengthening
the physical infrastructure of our campus, this campaign will
make it possible for us to remain faithful to the task we set
out for ourselves so many years ago—forming the students who
will transform the world.
