Founded in 1858, St. Bonaventure University is located on 500 acres in southwestern New York state. We prepare our students for a good journey through life and for their professional careers by beginning their studies with a strong liberal arts curriculum.We require all of our students to take 40 percent of their total credits in core liberal arts courses: literature, history, philosophy, classics, art and the fundamental sciences. We offer 43 undergraduate majors, the most popular of which are elementary education, journalism, psychology, accounting, marketing, finance and management.
Our total undergraduate enrollment is 2,000. Our class sizes are small. Virtually all of our freshman class and most of our other undergraduates live on campus. We are a community.
The University is the home of the Franciscan Institute, which is the center for research in the history, philosophy, and accomplishments of a remarkable group of men and women, who for 800 years have dedicated themselves to peace, justice, social equality and alleviation of suffering of everyone in the human family. We believe in the universality of these Franciscan values.
