Discover the DeSales Difference

DeSales really is different. There's a positive spirit and vibe here that's difficult to describe, but easy to appreciate.

Thanks to our Salesian identity, our campus is infused with a positive, upbeat attitude and a belief that significant results come from small actions. It's a place where we encourage and prepare you, to quote our patron saint, "To be who you are and be that well."

Why study at DeSales University? 

  • Customizable majors. Over 40 to choose from, infinite options from there.
  • Worry-free transition from high school to college life with CharacterU. 
  • Career guidance from day one paired with REAL career experience.
  • No long wait to get your acceptance decision. Within two weeks of your full submission, you'll know if you're a Bulldog.
  • Merit Scholarship options, regardless of financial need. (And, you'll have the chance to get your financial aid package early.)
