St. Bonaventure University Online

About Us

We are the nation’s first Catholic-Franciscan university, and we cultivate confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders as well as team members, and innovative problem solvers 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.
