uncommon starts at Scranton

The University of Scranton is a place for students who want something more from their college experience.
It’s for those who ask better questions, look beyond the obvious, and want to get more out of every opportunity from day one.

If you’re the kind of person who digs deeper, explores different perspectives, and expects more than the typical path, you’ll find your place here.

At The University of Scranton, uncommon isn’t just something we say — it’s something you experience.
