Niagara’s colleges of Arts and Sciences; Holzschuh Business Administration; Education; Nursing; and Hospitality, Sport, and Tourism Management, offer programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral level. All five of the University’s academic colleges have received the highest rankings from the top accreditation boards in their fields. In addition, the University offers an award-winning Academic and Career Exploration program for students who are undecided about their academic major.
Our university faculty are industry-focused and experts in the field, with 91% earning the highest degree in their field. They serve as both professionals and mentors to Niagara students, often working alongside them in research or providing network and career advice as students prepare for their next step.
In addition, more Niagara students participate in high impact practice (which involve engaging in one or more internship, research study, study abroad or other learning opportunity outside of the classroom) than other institutions. Seventy percent of first-year NU students engage in high impact practice (compared to 57% of students nationwide), while 95% of NU seniors participate (compared to 84% of other students).

Find Your Best Self
As the first Vincentian university established in the United States, Niagara prepares students for success while emphasizing service to the community in honor of St. Vincent de Paul. Students work with numerous community organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics, Opportunities Unlimited, and the United Way.

This educational approach encourages students to ignite positive change in the lives of others, while developing the technical and critical thinking skills that employers crave. It’s what makes a Niagara degree a coveted 21st-century credential and helps the University’s alumni translate their practical education into top jobs within their career fields.
