An Electric Destination
There’s a reason Scranton is ranked as one of the “Top 25 Colleges Students Love.” With an eclectic mix of historic architecture and more than $350 million in new campus facilities, Scranton is a dream campus—safe and self-contained but literally across the street from a charming, walkable downtown with cafés, shops, and parks.
Scranton’s nickname is “The Electric City,” but it’s the whole region that is electric with opportunities, from outdoor adventure to culture, internships and jobs, and all that New York City and Philadelphia—just two hours away—have to offer.
The University of Scranton was named a Best College for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report.
For over 30 years, we have been among the top 10 master's universities in the North. This year, we ranked No. 6!
