Your first year in college offers new challenges, experiences and opportunities. Niagara has developed a first year program that helps you maximize your experience and gives you the support necessary to be successful in your degree pursuit. You’ve joined a community founded in 1856 by the Vincentian Fathers, a religious order founded by St. Vincent de Paul the patron saint of the poor. It is the mission of Niagara to educate and enrich the lives of our students through values based education.
