Located in Steubenville, Ohio, along the Ohio River approximately 40 miles west of Pittsburgh, Franciscan University of Steubenville is a private Catholic liberal arts institution founded in 1946 by the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular. The 249-acre hillside campus features a mix of traditional and modern architecture, including Christ the King Chapel as its central landmark. Known for its orthodox Catholic identity and strong theology program, the university maintains selective admission standards and offers undergraduate degrees across more than 40 majors, with theology, nursing, and business among its prominent programs. Students are required to live on campus for their first three years, residing in single-sex residence halls that support the university's faith-based community environment, while the campus ministry program serves as a cornerstone of student life.
