Where your American dream begins

Nestled in the heart of Rutherford, a quiet and welcoming town in New Jersey just a stone's throw from New York City, Felician University has nearly a century of history. Founded in 1923 as a college focused on education, today it's a private Catholic Franciscan university with an international reputation, blending tradition and innovation to create a welcoming and inspiring learning environment.

You'll stay on site in a modern student residence, with spacious rooms and shared common areas where you can relax, study or meet new friends from all over the world. Manhattan is just 35 minutes away by private coach.
