About St. Bonaventure University

A University with a Passion for Learning and Living

We are the nation’s first Catholic-Franciscan university, and we cultivate confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders, innovative problem solvers, caring business people and empathetic professionals who are respectful of themselves, others and the diverse world around them. In addition to our online programs, we also are proud of the St. Bonaventure University ground campus founded in Olean, NY in 1858. SBU Bonnies are members of the Atlantic 10 conference and serves as a place where more than 2,000 students are becoming extraordinary. 

We instill in students a real passion for learning and living. We encourage independent study, critical analysis and original expression. Our professors are committed and approachable faculty who dedicate themselves to making connections with each other, with their subjects and, most importantly, with their students.

SBU's MSBA program allowed me to choose my concentration and develop the skills I was interested in. Faculty members have worked at well-known companies, are published authors and overall have a breadth of professional and academic experience, which I had not encountered at previous institutions. My student support advisor was invaluable, which allowed me to focus entirely on my academic performance. I learned a plethora of new technical skills, which I could utilize immediately. I haven't even received my diploma and already have a new job!
