Susquehanna University is a private liberal arts college in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, United States.[4][5] Its name is derived from the original Susquehannock settlers of the region. Founded in 1858 as a missionary institute, it became a four-year liberal arts college in 1895. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.[6] Susquehanna is classified among "Baccalaureate Colleges: Arts & Sciences Focus", though it also has a business school, master's degrees in education and joint-degree programs in engineering and for a Master of Business Administration. It also offers the only bachelor's degree in luxury brand marketing and management in the U.S.[7]
The academic programs are within the four schools of the Arts, Humanities, Natural and Social Sciences, and the AACSB International-accredited Sigmund Weis School of Business. Susquehanna University enrolls more than 2,200 undergraduate students from 33 states and 23 countries,[8] and maintains a student-to-faculty ratio of 13 to 1.[9] Most students are required to live on campus all four years[10] and as of 2012, all students participate in a cross-cultural study away or service-learning experience known as the GO Program.
