Susquehanna University is one of 31 featured colleges in the newly published book 333 Awesome Small Colleges: (that just might save you money) V. 彼得·皮茨.

In the reference book, showcasing U.S. colleges with less than 3,500 undergraduate students, 皮茨写道, “There is a real ‘family’ atmosphere in these [small] colleges.” He notes that classes at small colleges are often taught by full professors instead of teaching assistants and that students’ interactions with small college professors allow more opportunities for them to excel.

皮特的书, geared toward prospective college students and their families, characterizes Susquehanna as a university where academic innovation thrives.

“Susquehanna University is the future-ready institution that prepares students to create their own paths and maximize their unique potential,” as described in a submitted essay for the book chapter. “Invested in cultivating intellectual grounding, active learning and global citizenship for all students, Susquehanna empowers each graduate to lead a successful and meaningful life.”

The chapter on Susquehanna highlights its emphasis on being an engaged, culturally inclusive campus that is grounded in its liberal arts foundation while also stressing real-world experiences and cross-cultural immersion. It also makes note of Susquehanna’s longstanding commitment to access.

“可购性 is foundational at Susquehanna. 2023 - 24, Susquehanna offered generous academic merit scholarships of up to $42,000 based on an assessment of academic achievement,这一章写道. “另外, need-based awards — contingent on students filing the FAFSA — result in 99% of first-year students receiving financial aid.”

Other mentions include Susquehanna’s 100-plus 主修和辅修, proximity to the Susquehanna River, campus-powering solar array and sustainability programming、强 Alumni网络 and award-winning study-abroad program.
