Founded by the Jesuits in 1870, Canisius is one of 28 colleges and universities in the United States that shares the Jesuit philosophy of excellence in education.

Canisius is an independent, co-educational university offering more than 1,000 courses in 70 majors, minors and special programs through three academic divisions. Canisius is accredited by numerous national organizations, including the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (Business Administration Program), the American Chemical Society, the Council for Education of the Deaf (Deaf Education Program), the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (Athletic Training),and the North American Society of Sport Management (Sport Administration Program). These accreditations serve as a testimonial to the numerous Canisius students who go on to become leaders in their profession and their community.
Canisius has a rolling admissions policy. Applications are accepted until all available seats are filled.
