Edinboro University of Pennsylvania

“Great things happen here!” is much more than a catchphrase or marketing tag-line at Edinboro University. It’s more than a goal. And it’s more than a mere belief. Plainly stated, it’s a fact. From the 800 members of our faculty and staff working together as a single team toward our students’ excellence in academic attainment, extracurricular participation and leadership, to our outstanding reputation as a world-class institution of higher education, Edinboro University has become a 21st Century paradigm for post-secondary learning. Edinboro’s faculty and staff have adopted the mantra of excellence in everything we do, from academics in more than 100 majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels, many of them nationally accredited, to athletics that include NCAA Division I wrestling, to scores of student intramurals and clubs and organizations, to just having fun in our recently renovated, 260,000 square-foot student center. Our new $115 million, suite-style student housing complex offers many of the amenities students seek in today’s residential college experience, and the new six-story Michael S. Zafirovski Sports and Recreation Center represents the largest free-standing domed facility of its kind in the tri-state region. Our new Dr. William P. Alexander Music Center, and the soon-to-be constructed Human Services Building, along with the renovation of the Cooper Science Center, all point to a thriving institution in northwestern Pennsylvania where growth and achievement are the norm rather than the exception. But it’s more than our 40 buildings, many with green and sustainable features, or our beautiful five-acre Mallory Lake, or even our 585-acre safe and aesthetically pleasing campus so conducive to study and academic attainment that make Edinboro University such a perfect match for over 8,200 residential, commuter and distance-learning students. In fact, we know that what matters most to students and parents is that Edinboro University offers a value-added education from a renowned faculty dedicated to our students’ success; an educational philosophy that prepares our students not only for their first jobs, but for their second and third jobs as well, and even for multiple careers in today’s global marketplace. It’s a philosophy that permeates the understanding of a faculty and staff committed to preparing complete students through academic, professional and leadership development, students who will leave Edinboro as global citizens ready to thrive in their chosen fields and successfully compete at every level in fulfilling their own aspirations.
