Susquehanna's 2,200 students come from 31 states and 30 countries and 96% find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation.

Founded as Lutheran college, Susquehanna welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, expressing its heritage through the free and open exploration of ideas, commitment to service and development of individual talents.
