Franciscan University of Steubenville is a private Franciscan university in Steubenville, Ohio.[5] The university has 3,656 students as of fall 2022, including 2,602 students on campus, in 40 undergraduate and 8 graduate degree programs.[6] The student body is 97 percent Catholic, and Franciscan claims to have the largest number of students majoring in theology, catechetics, and philosophy of any Catholic university in the United States.[5]
The school was established as the College of Steubenville in 1946 by the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular at the request of Anthony John King Mussio, the first bishop of the Diocese of Steubenville.[7] In 1974, Michael Scanlan became president and began a series of major reforms to restore the school to its Catholic heritage.[8] The college changed its name to the University of Steubenville upon achieving university status in 1980 and adopted the current title Franciscan University of Steubenville in 1986.[7]
