The institution was founded in 1946 as Steubenville College by Franciscan Friars and later acquired the Knights of Pythias building in downtown Steubenville. This establishment marked the beginning of Catholic education in the region.
The campus reflects strong Catholic values in daily life, with chapels, religious symbols, and a community organized around Christian principles. Visitors quickly notice how faith is woven into classes, events, and student interactions.
Visitors should allow time to explore the large campus layout and navigate between its various buildings and areas. Weekends or between-class times offer better opportunities to walk around without disrupting student activities.
