Since 1856, Niagara University has been recognized for providing an academic setting that nourishes the mind, body, heart and soul. Founded in the Catholic and Vincentian tradition, the university`s holistic, one-on-one approach to education makes a difference in the lives of its students, and they go on to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it`s preparing income taxes for the elderly, tutoring inner city elementary school students or conducting breast cancer research with professors, Niagara students strive to assist those less fortunate. Those types of real-world learning opportunities help Niagara alumni translate their “small-school” education into top jobs within their chosen career fields, working for companies from Beijing to Broadway. In fact, according to a recent survey, 96 percent of NU graduates reported being employed or enrolled in graduate school within one year of graduation. Niagara`s reputation for academic excellence is annually praised in several prominent national publications. Just this year, U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and Colleges of Distinction ranked NU among the top schools in the Northeast.
