A Good Fit

Choosing the college or university which is right for you is one of the most important decisions you will make at this stage of your life. Choose Shippensburg University, not because your friend is coming here, or your mother's an alumna, or because U.S. News & World Report ranks Shippensburg University among the top universities in the North. Choose Ship because it is the right fit for YOU.

Personality

Universities, like students, have personalities. Our personality? Shippensburg's beautiful campus is home to a community of learners, doers, leaders, and friends, but we believe there is much to be learned off campus as well.  Internships, research, study abroad, and learning beyond the classroom enhance our students' learning and lives.  

Our faculty's level of commitment to teaching, mentoring, and advising students is impressive - and so is the level of scholarship.

Ship is more than just a place to attend classes.  We encourage our student's to get involved -- in campus activities, community volunteering, organizations, clubs, and sports.  Our students build lives, not just resumes.
