Rooted in Faith

Faith is at the center of everything at ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ. While we are a Diocesan university grounded in the Catholic Tradition, we warmly welcome persons of all faiths and backgrounds, providing opportunities for respect, and enrichment through diversity within the ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ community. Campus Ministry actively provides opportunities for faith development through daily/weekend liturgies, retreats, and weekly Bible studies. Alternative Spring Breaks and Service-learning classes enhance our students' learning through hands-on experience -- both on campus and abroad.

Vibrant, Urban Campus

The vibrant, urban campus of ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ is located on the waterfront in the heart of Erie, Pennsylvania's entertainment and cultural district.

For fun, you can take in a concert, play or movie, catch a SeaWolves baseball game (AA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers) or an Ontario Hockey League Otters game. There are several outdoor festivals throughout the year – all within walking distance of campus

This location enables students to easily find internships and co-op jobs with federal, state, and local government agencies; accounting, law, and marketing firms; hospitals; industrial and insurance companies; and museums.

The ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ campus is also close to Presque Isle State Park, a popular tourist attraction with seven miles of beaches, lagoons, hiking trails and biking and jogging paths. Three miles away is the Millcreek Mall Complex, often cited as the third-largest shopping mall in the U.S.

The major metropolitan centers of Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh are all within two hours' driving time, as is Canada.
