St. John Fisher College is an independent, liberal arts institution in the Catholic tradition of American higher education. Guided since its inception in 1948 by the educational philosophy of the Congregation of St. Basil, the College emphasizes liberal learning for students in traditional academic disciplines, as well as for those in more directly career-oriented fields. The College welcomes qualified students, faculty, and staff regardless of religious or cultural background.
The campus is situated on 154 park-like acres—a beautiful setting for 23 modern buildings and a warm, friendly campus community of 2,600 full-time undergraduates, 250 part-time undergraduates, and nearly 1,000 graduate students. The College now offers 31 academic majors in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, business, and nursing, as well as 10 pre-professional programs. Fisher also offers 11 master’s programs and three doctoral programs.
