Since its founding by the Sisters of Charity in 1918, Seton Hill University has been a pioneering force of innovative higher education. It has flourished from its beginnings as an institution for young women and now brings unique opportunities for both male and female students of all ages. And thanks to its small size and years of educational expertise, the University excels in providing a personally fulfilling experience that teaches students to think and act critically, creatively, and ethically as productive members of society. As a Catholic institution, Seton Hill opens its doors to students of all faiths, creating a warm environment for those with a passion to make a difference in the world. It’s in the everyday teachings and caring community that the University is living out its mission in the tradition of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, who said to her own students, “I would wish to fit you for that world in which you are destined to live.”

They enjoy over 80 undergraduate and 12 graduate degree programs as well as an adult degree program and advanced certifications in a variety of disciplines.

Along with new technologies, the University is also a spearheading force in academic development; new majors are introduced every year!
