From its humble beginnings rooted in the Franciscan tradition, St. Bonaventure University has evolved into a modern institution that offers a diverse range of academic programs to meet the needs of today’s students. Founded on the principles of St. Bonaventure himself, a true saint whose life was miraculously saved through the prayers of St. Francis of Assisi, the university has upheld its commitment to education, service, and spirituality over the centuries.
