Duquesne University: Students
built 663 days ago
Duquesne is home to students from a variety of backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. Presently, the University claims to have students from over 100 countries. For example, many students have noted the large number of Puerto Rican students on campus. Duquesne̢۪s African American population, while still in the minority, is on the rise. Though students from a wide range of religions attend this university, the most popular religion found here, not surprisingly, is Catholicism.
Commuters studying Students who enter the main hallway area of the Commuter Center will be offered a free history lesson regarding Duquesne University. With the assistance of the University Archives, the Office of Commuter Affairs created a unique display of how the Duquesne Campus and the City of Pittsburgh once appeared. When browsing the display you will find a small caption located below each picture which describes each photograph. Take some time out of your busy schedule to see how the Duquesne Campus has been transformed over the years.

The Power Center under construction (September 2007): completed in January 2008, it is the first stage in a mixed-use development. Duquesne has since expanded to over 10,000 graduate and undergraduate students within a self-contained 48-acre (19.4 ha) hilltop campus in Pittsburgh's Bluff neighborhood. The school maintains associate campuses in Harrisburg and Rome and encompasses ten schools of study. The university hosts international students from more than eighty different countries,[2] although enrollment is mostly regional, with 81 percent of Duquesne students residing in the state of Pennsylvania.[3]
Education that informs the mind, engages the heart, and invigorates the spirit is the guiding vision of the University Core Curriculum of Duquesne University, an urban Catholic university in the Spiritan tradition. This vision takes its inspiration from the University’s mission, specifically the commitment to excellence in education and concern for moral and spiritual values, especially the Spiritan values of global justice and the kinship of all peoples. The Duquesne general education curriculum prepares students to search for truth, with attention to how faith and reason together contribute to that search, and to exercise wise, creative and responsible leadership in the service of others and in the fashioning of a more just world.
