Overview

Established in 1870, Syracuse University is a private international research institution committed to expanding knowledge and promoting student success through exceptional teaching, comprehensive scholarship, and interdisciplinary research. With 11 academic schools and colleges, the university has a strong tradition of excellence in liberal arts, sciences, and professional fields, equipping students to navigate the complexities and opportunities of a rapidly evolving world. The 270-acre main campus, along with additional venues in prominent metropolitan areas and across three continents, provides students with extensive resources.

Syracuse boasts one of the most diverse student populations among similar institutions, representing all 50 U.S. states and over 100 countries. The university also has a distinguished history of supporting military veterans, highlighted by the nationally acclaimed Institute for Veterans and Military Families, the first U.S. university-based institute addressing the unique needs of veterans and their families. Furthermore, the Daniel and Gayle D’Aniello Building, inaugurated in Spring 2020, houses the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC) and serves as a leading example of collaboration between academia, government, and the community.
