I am from Jamestown, North Dakota, and I found Duquesne because I was looking
for schools with good economics programs. I had a really memorable first impression
of Duquesne. I met with the mentor for my program, and he left a lasting impression
on me. I really love being here, and I think Pittsburgh is a really cool city."

Duquesne students are prepared for anything
You'll learn with faculty who are genuine teacher-scholars. They work in communities near and far and collaborate with students, community members, government and business
as they pursue their work. Their curiosity and tenacity make their classrooms exciting
places to be—and they are equally enthusiastic about your future.
Whether measured by employment rates or graduate school admissions, various rankings, pass rates of major exams like the bar exam (law), NCLEX (nursing), NPTE (physical therapy), NAPLEX (pharmacy) and others, Duquesne students achieve the bigger goals they pursue.
Experience it for yourself!
Duquesne University has a long history of excellence in this city. In the School of Law we have a hall of fame and the names and faces never cease to blow my mind. I believe that being a graduate of this university comes with a duty to continue to carry on that legacy and tradition of excellence.
