A comprehensive, co-educational institution, The University of Scranton is, by tradition, choice and heartfelt commitment, a Catholic and Jesuit university. Founded in 1888 as Saint Thomas College by the Most Reverend William G. O’Hara, D. D., the first Bishop of Scranton, it achieved university status in 1938 and was entrusted to the care of the Society of Jesus in 1942. |
