University of Scranton

<p>Any info on this school from students or parents. Daughter is very interested in the education department. Any info would be helpful or should I post to a different area of site.</p>

<p>The U of S is a fantastic school with very strong business & accounting programs, pre-med and physical therapy programs. (In the interest of full disclosure I should mention I'm a '79 grad, so I can't really speak to the education department of late).</p>

<p>Virtually every pre-med student gets accepted into med school often in Philadelphia (Thomas Jefferson, Hanneman, Temple, etc.). The school has very strong contacts with Wall Street and the top accounting programs in NYC. Most business/accounting students get good paying jobs after college.</p>

<p>The school's reputation has steadily increased over the past three decades and they've expanded their entire campus considerably, often by building new buildings. </p>

<p>They have a very good Honors program which they call SJLA. They are a Jesuit institution but have a refreshingly open approach to religion. The school reall is interested in generating graduates that make a difference in the world. </p>

<p>As you can probably guess, they have an extremely loyal and supportive alumni. I may be wrong but U of Scranton generates more donations from their alumni than all but one of the Jesuit institutions in America.</p>

<p>Most students come from the PA, NY, NJ region, but do pull from New England and Maryland and DC as well.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
