Niagara University has been educating students for more than 150 years.  Our established liberal arts curriculum offers more than 50 majors, including seven preprofessional options, three five-year combined bachelor's/master's programs, and our award winning Academic Exploration Program for students who haven't yet decided on a major.  This is an education that works:  Not only does U.S. News & World report rank us among the "Best University- Master's" in the North, we also have proof of our graduates' success.  Within six months of graduation, more than 90 percent of students find jobs and 48 percent are attending graduate school.

At Niagara, you will enjoy the benefits of a large university - such as our established honors and study-abroad programs, Model U.N. team, active internship and co-op programs, and opportunities to conduct research - in the personal, challenging environment of a smaller school. You get all this at a cost that's comparable to that of a state institution when you factor in our generous financial aid packages. In fact, 98 percent of entering students receive some form of financial aid.

Inspired by the Catholic and Vincentian traditions upon which the university was founded, students enhance their education by serving their communities and helping those in need. Every student will graduate with service experience under his or her belt; in fact, NU students contribute more than 50,000 hours of community service each semester. It's no wonder the university was one of only 10 colleges nationwide named as a finalist for General Excellence in Community Service in the 2006 President's Higher Education Community Service Awards.

For more than 150 years, Niagara University has been educating students in the Catholic and Vincentian tradition. This tradition emphasizes ethics, lifelong learning, and service to others and prepares our graduates for lives and careers that are both successful and fulfilling. Within these pages, you will learn how the university is making a difference in the lives of our students - and how those students in turn are using the knowledge gained here to make a difference on campus, in the surrounding community, and in the world at large.

Mind, body, heart, and soul. A Niagara education is designed to nurture all areas of a student's growth, resulting in graduates who are primed for leadership roles in their careers and in their communities.  Our curriculum and approach to teaching offer students many opportunities for applying knowledge to solve real-world challenges.

An insider's view. We feel that one of the best ways to discover Niagara is through the eyes of our students. We challenged NU students to create commercials that give an “insider's” view of the university.  Click here to watch their videos and see what makes Niagara special.
