D'Youville University

D'Youville University, founded in 1908, stands as a testament to over a century of dedication to education and service, deeply rooted in the legacy of the Grey Nuns. Inspired by Marie-Marguerite d'Youville and the Sisters of Charity, who fought for the marginalized since 1737, D'Youville brings this compassionate spirit to its vibrant Buffalo campus. Initially a women's college, D'Youville embraced co-education in 1970, adapting to meet evolving educational needs and becoming a dynamic environment for all students.

The university has consistently expanded its academic horizons, particularly excelling in health professions. What began as a liberal arts college evolved through the addition of master's and professional health programs in the 1980s, culminating in several doctoral degrees in the early 2000s. This commitment to advanced studies led to D'Youville proudly achieving university status in February 2022, signifying its comprehensive academic offerings and research focus.

Prospective students will discover a robust academic landscape across its four professional schools, including the Patricia H. Garman School of Nursing, the School of Health Professions, and the School of Pharmacy. These schools are at the forefront of preparing the next generation of healthcare leaders and practitioners, complemented by a strong School of Arts, Science and Education that provides a well-rounded educational foundation. With 2,893 students, D'Youville offers a personalized private university experience, fostering an environment where innovation meets community engagement.
