Transylvania University

Transylvania provides countless opportunities for you to challenge yourself academically, explore your interests, expand your knowledge of the world, and accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Everything about campus life at Transylvania is designed to help you enjoy and learn from your college years. It begins with orientation for first-year students, where you have the chance to meet a small group of your classmates and share the experience of becoming a college student. You'll continue to meet with this group throughout your first term.

A Transylvania education puts you on the road to a unique destination of your own making. Wherever you want to go, Transylvania is the place to start. For over 230 years, our graduates have been going out into the world and achieving remarkable things.
