The spirit of St. Francis
lives at Saint Francis University
St. Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order and
is our namesake. Although he was born more than 800 years
ago, we still have a lot to learn from the simplicity, balance
and honesty of the Franciscan ideal.
In an age of gross commercialization and soulless materialism
(whose roots go back to Francis’s own time), the world has never
needed his inspiration so much as today.
If you wish to lead, follow St. Francis.
Office of AdmissionS

PO Box 600
Loretto PA 15940-9987
St. Francis pointed the way in the arts, business, health care,
and the environment. In fact, he left us an abundance of clues
on how to strive and thrive in the world today.
GO FAR.
How far you go in life depends
a lot on how high you reach.
Even though some goals may seem hard to reach, you’ll always end up farther
ahead if you reach higher than you think you need to. You can achieve anything
you set out to do—if you set your mind on it, and pour your heart into it.
That’s where Saint Francis University comes in.
We’re the oldest Franciscan university in the country. And like our namesake,
St. Francis of Assisi, we’ve chosen a road of mission, purpose and values. Simply
put, we provide a solid, liberal arts education to students so that they can make
their way—quickly—into a world already in motion.
We encourage our students to reach higher—to go far into the world—carrying
a message of genuine concern for peace and justice wherever they go. And to put
their talents to work for a better world for everyone.
At Saint Francis University, you’ll discover that wherever you want to go,
and whatever you want to do, it’s reachable if you start here.

REACH HIGHER.
reaching forward
No matter what major you choose, the foundation of your education
at Saint Francis University will prepare you for responsible citizenship
in a complex world. A core of courses and co-curricular experiences
will help you reach up and out as well as grounding you in the skills
and knowledge traditionally expected of university graduates.
O
ur core curriculum is based upon the belief that the liberal arts are
the best possible preparation for your future as a professional and a
member of a participatory democracy. The phrase “liberal arts” can be
a bit misleading. The liberal arts are neither liberal from a political view, nor
artsy by definition. Instead, they are liberal in the sense that they have the
potential to set you free—to liberate your mind from prejudice and ignorance
Why the liberal arts matter
Quite simply, they’ll give you a broad grasp of the world at large.
The General Education courses at Saint Francis University will give you an
understanding of the events that have shaped world history, the forces that
will shape it in the future, and why it works the way it does. You’ll become
more involved with the world because you’ll understand it more fully. By
exposing you to a wide range of subjects, you’re sure to discover a new
interest you care passionately about, or a new skill you never knew you had.
No single major can adequately prepare you for a professional life that
may have you changing careers four or five times, or jobs eight or nine times.
The core curriculum will train you to think critically, commu­nicate clearly,
and will develop you into an independent learner. And the ability to be creative,
to think on your feet­, and to solve problems quickly and effectively is the real
advantage in today’s rapidly changing and competitive workplace. If you
understand that, it will put you head and shoulders above your peers.
Reaching higher outside the classroom
From the service-learning component of the required Franciscan cornerstone course to the collaborative leadership project in the upper-level Keystone
Seminar, students at Saint Francis University participate in a variety of outreach
activities designed to foster a sense of social responsibility. The new wellness
component of the general education program provides a framework for defining
and working toward seven identified dimensions of wellness starting with
physical wellness and culminating in spiritual wellness.

ere’s a question. Which graduates
consistently score higher on GRE,
LSAT and GMAT graduate school

Here’s another fact that may surprise you.
English or philosophy majors do not necessarily
spend their lives parking cars and waiting on tables. Our graduates turn in
outstanding performances in all sorts of careers you wouldn’t expect. In fact,
more employers are looking for “thoughtful generalists” who have honed their
critical thinking and communications skills in a solid liberal arts program.
So if your “verbal” was higher than your “math,” take heart. You don’t
have to rush into a major just because of job prospects. If you like English,
there’s advertising or another communications field. Like Spanish? Combine
it with business for a very marketable combination. With a bit of creativity,
you can graduate knowing that there are limitless career opportunities.

And just think: If you were

outdoor expeditions like these might
be a major stunt. But here at Saint
Francis University, all you have to do
is walk outside.
Is there civilization nearby?
Yes. If the life you’re looking for
isn’t in the mountains, there are cities
nearby, too. For a movie, a food fix
or great shopping, head towards
Altoona or Johnstown, both only
twenty minutes away. For big-city life,
grab a couple friends, make the less
than two-hour drive to Pittsburgh and
take in a Broadway play, a concert,
see the Steelers at Heinz Field, or

...and a great big one
in the mountains of southern
France.
The first view of The Priory sitting atop the mountain
overlooking the small village of Ambialet, leaves most
students—and first-time visitors—speechless. But what
it says to you is that you are in for a study-abroad
experience unlike any other. Get ready.
Aller plus haut (Reach higher)
From a mountaintop location
in Loretto, PA to a mountaintop
in southern France, Saint Francis
University students have the
opportunity to participate in a true
study abroad program and experience European culture and lifestyle
firsthand. For three months
(the entire spring or fall semester),
students can choose to conduct
their studies in southern France—
at no additional cost in tuition.
The program is coordinated
by the Center of International
Education and Outreach, and your
destination is the small town of
Ambialet in southwestern France.
But that’s just where it begins.
We’re not in Kansas anymore
If you’ve never been abroad,
then your experience will start the
moment you board the plane in
the states. You’ll eventually land
in Toulouse (the fourth largest
city in France) and from there
make your way to the small
village of Ambialet.
16
Seeing it for the first time
will leave you speechless. It has
been written that there is no other
place in France quite like it,
perhaps nowhere in the world. The
Tarn River surrounds Ambialet
almost completely—at one point
separated only by the width of a
single roadway.
In the town square you’ll
find the best chocolate croissant
you ever tasted at Nadine’s place.
Ambialet’s roadways will take
you past family farms, small
storefronts and, if you’re into
cycling, know that you’ll be
riding on the same roads used
by the Tour de France.
GO FAR.
Above it all sits your home
for the next three months—a
centuries-old Franciscan monastery
that has been newly-renovated to
accommodate the needs of modern-day
students. Internet access, comfortable
rooms and a well-stocked kitchen
will make you feel like you never left
home­—at least until you walk outside
and look around.
Learning around the world
In addition to classes held at
the monastery, there are weekly trips
to the University of Albi where you’ll
study alongside French students.
Plus, you’ll experience numerous
field trips to museums, historic towns,
legendary sites and cultural landmarks
that date back to the 9th century.
There’s also Paris, where you’ll
stay for 10 days at an international
dormitory, five-day excursions to
Barcelona, as well as trips to the French
Riviera, Madrid, London, Amsterdam,
Rome, and many more European cities
that you’ll remember for the rest of
your life.
Students in every major are
eligible to participate in the Semester
in France program upon completion of
their first semester in Loretto.
Now you can reach higher and
go really far.

“I learned a lot about different

are quite possibly the nicest people
I have ever met. I enjoyed how
Europeans have a love for life. They
don’t follow trends or patterns that
society sets for them. It is they who
set the tone for society, and they do
whatever they want. Life is too short
to let it pass you by, so enjoy it.
I would recommend this trip to
anyone who is not afraid to try new
things. If you don’t take this trip,
you will be missing out on the
chance of a lifetime.”

to rural healthcare. And we’re not
stopping there.
Advancing rural medicine
The DiSepio Institute for Rural
Health and Wellness is the newest
addition to the Saint Francis campus.
It houses an education and research
center, a clinic, a rehabilitation
center, a cardio deck, strength and
conditioning suites, and classrooms
that will support both students and
the surrounding communities.
The DiSepio Institute provides
health science students with practical
experience by initiating them into the
service of the rural population.
It also reaches out to the communities
that surround us by providing quality
health care and education.

The Center of Excellence for
Remote and Medically Under-Served

testing of new technologies
for delivering health care to rural
communities throughout the U.S.
It’s all part of our Franciscan
mission of providing academic
excellence combined with needed
community service.

Saint Francis University is one of
a handful of colleges and universities
seeking to decrease its impact on the
environment by developing its own wind
farm. We currently run Pennsylvania’s
only state-wide wind testing program.

Pennsylvania Wind Assessment Program
(PennWAP) offers students unique
fieldwork experience and research

Athletic competition teaches you
what it takes to win: drive, discipline,

It also can teach you how to

bad breaks—even how to lose and
remain a champion. At Saint Francis

athletics without having to go to MegaState University to be lost in
a crowd—and left on the bench.
In fact, Saint Francis is one of the
smallest universities to offer NCAA
Division I Athletics.

Imagine that.
REACH HIGHER.
Gain the whole world, but...
At Saint Francis, “reaching higher” doesn’t just mean worldly
success. We also help you to go far in your spiritual life.
L
et’s face it, there are a lot of
“successful” people who,
while they have lots of worldly
success, aren’t very happy. They may
be super achievers in their careers,
but they forget to reach higher in their
spiritual lives, too.
We don’t want this to happen to
you. So regardless of your faith (Saint
Francis has a dedicated Department
of Ecumenical and Interfaith Ministry
that sponsors daily worship and
regularly scheduled activities), we will
try to help you keep your perspective
off of “things,” and on the bigger
picture of your life and your pursuits.
That’s why St. Francis of
Assisi is at the center of Saint Francis
University, literally. That’s his statue
in the center of campus. His not-sosubtle presence is felt throughout the
University in many ways.
St. Francis loved nature as God
made it. For him, it was a reflection
of God’s greatness. Up here in the
mountains, you’ll be close to nature
and have lots of opportunity to explore
its beauty and its Maker.
St. Francis was a good friend.
People loved him because he was
always there for them, listening to them
and caring for them. The key to making
great friends at Saint Francis University
is by being a great friend yourself.
Reaching Higher
St. Francis spent a lot of time
in conversation with God. He
wouldn’t take a step without His loving
guidance. Saint Francis University is
a good place for prayer and fellowship.
The chapel is always open and Mass is
celebrated every day. The Mount Assisi
Gardens and the Grotto to Our Lady of
Lourdes present beautiful and relaxing
settings in which to be alone and quiet.
Where there is Peace and
Finally, St. Francis of Assisi had
his priorities right. He didn’t put
much stock in owning things—in fact,
he gave all his “things” away because
he didn’t want anything to come
between him and God.
We hope that you succeed in all
your worthwhile endeavors, and we’ll
do all we can to help you. However,
we hope that, no matter how successful
you become, you’ll never forget
where those gifts came from, and never
confuse the gifts with the Giver.

efore you look at the cost
of college and how to pay for
it, it’s a good idea to look at
the return on your investment in a
quality education. It will come in
two forms, financial and personal.
In their lifetimes, college-educated
employees will make nearly three
times more than those who are not
college-educated. That’s the financial
payback. But the effects of a college
education on the quality of your life
can be profound. It’s a reward that
can far outstrip the financial benefits,
because it’s hard to put a price on a
well-educated mind.
Financial aid
We administer a comprehensive
financial aid program utilizing funds
from the University, the state and
federal sources. We understand the
process can be confusing, so we’ll
work with you to make the process as
simple and as personal as possible.
Admissions
No one wants you to succeed
more than we do. So our admissions
decisions are based on whether or not
we feel you will experience success at
Saint Francis University. We consider
a number of indicators such as: the
variety and difficulty of courses taken
in high school—the more advanced or
college prep courses you’ve taken, the
better; your GPA and class rank; SAT
(Math and Critical Reading) and/or
ACT scores; the strength of the
curriculum and reputation of your
high school; your extracurricular
and/or community activities; your
letter of recommendation; and finally,
if you desire, your personal interview.

The spirit of St. Francis
lives at Saint Francis University
St. Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order and
is our namesake. Although he was born more than 800 years
ago, we still have a lot to learn from the simplicity, balance
and honesty of the Franciscan ideal.
In an age of gross commercialization and soulless materialism
(whose roots go back to Francis’s own time), the world has never
needed his inspiration so much as today.
