GET READY FOR somethingmore.

I know you’re getting a lot of college brochures in the mail. When I was in high school, I did too. And sometimes, it felt like everyone was saying the same thing.

Here’s the thing.

Duquesne really is different. And I love it.

I want to tell you why Duquesne was the right choice for me. And it might just be the right choice for you, too.

An experience that will define you.

this campus

My senior year of high school, I applied to a lot of schools. Nearly a dozen. I wanted to keep my options open.

But as soon as I stepped foot on Duquesne’s campus for a tour, my decision was made. I knew this would be my college home.

Duquesne is this beautiful campus on a hill, overlooking downtown Pittsburgh, South Side and one of the city’s three rivers. And if you take a five-minute walk down the hill (we call it the Bluff), you’re in the middle of everything the city has to offer.

A location that will inspire you.

Because learning at Duquesne happens everywhere.

You can be engaged in your field from the moment you step on campus. Whether it’s hands-on research, patient interaction or teaching local students, there are opportunities in all of Duquesne’s programs.

My Duquesne education took me to Pope Francis’ papal visit in Philadelphia, where I had full press credentials and worked with three other students to take hundreds of hours of footage. I edited the video—along with 30 interviews and thousands of photos—into a documentary that was screened on campus with Pittsburgh’s Bishop Zubik in attendance.

It was great real-world experience and the opportunity of a lifetime!

Duquesne has given me so many opportunities to spread my wings. And one of my favorites has to be the Spring Breakaway course that took me to Paris, France.

With Spring Breakaway classes, you take a course at Duquesne throughout the spring semester, and you travel with your class—including your professor—over spring break.

My class was Travel Writing, so we read and discussed travel essays when we were on campus, and practiced writing, too. Then when we were in Paris, we kept a daily journal that we turned into an extended travel journal when we were back in Pittsburgh.

It was très magnifique!

My Paris Must-Sees:

• The Eiffel Tower (obviously!)

• The Louvre

• The Arc de Triomphe

Spiritus est Qui vivificat.It is the Spirit Who gives life.

ALL ARE WELCOME

HERE.

We’re a Catholic

university, so faith

plays an important

role here. And we

have a very broad

and diverse group of

students who nurture

mind, heart and spirit

in different ways.

A Catholic education in the Spiritan tradition.It’s what we do here. But what does it really mean?

You’ll see the Spiritan tradition alive on campus

and beyond in the way we treat one another, the

way we learn and in how we view the world.

Who we are today has a lot to do with who

we were yesterday. Founded in 1878 to serve

Pittsburgh’s immigrant population, Duquesne

was built on a core set of values that guide us even

now. We believe in building community, in having

a global vision, in promoting high academic

standards, and in a commitment to service.

And first and foremost, everyone at Duquesne is

here to make sure you succeed, academically and

throughout life.

As an event chair for my sorority’s annual Make-a-Wish Pageant, I’ve helped raise tens of thousands of dollars to help regional kids have their wishes granted.

And freshman year, through one of my core curriculum classes, I worked with the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council to help non-native English speakers master the language.

If you do not have SAT or ACT scores, or believe your scores do not reflect your academic achievement and ability to be successful at Duquesne, you may choose to apply as a test-optional candidate. You must have a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 within a college preparatory curriculum to be considered for admission.
