Marywood University is an independent, comprehensive, Catholic institution of 3000 students, committed to the integration of liberal arts and professional studies in the context of ethical and religious values. Founded by the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1915, Marywood offers a wide variety of undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D. and continuing education programs designed to place men and women of all backgrounds and ages at the forefront of service, knowledge and technology.
Location: Situated on a hill top, Marywood's scenic 115-acre campus is part of an attractive residential area of the city of Scranton in northeastern Pennsylvania. With a population of 78,800, Scranton is the fifth-largest city in Pennsylvania and is the county seat of Lackawanna County, whose population is approximately 250,000.
