Introduction to Le Moyne College

Le Moyne College is one of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the U.S., and the first to open as a co-educational institution.

Campus Setting of Le Moyne College

Le Moyne is located in a suburban setting on a 160-acre campus in Syracuse, N.Y. The area offers a rich mix of year-round recreational opportunities, from swimming in the emerald waters of Green Lakes State Park, biking along the old Erie Canal or downhill skiing at one of the many nearby resorts.

If spectator sports are more your speed, Le Moyne College boasts championship lacrosse, one of the college's 17 Division II athletic teams. Syracuse is home to a professional baseball team, the Chiefs, and hockey team, the Crunch.

The city also offers a professional symphony, opera company and regional theater, along with numerous other performers including comedy, puppetry, and improvisation. It has multiple museums, including the I.M. Pei-designed Everson Museum of Art.

The downtown business district of Syracuse -- Armory Square -- is also a must-see, featuring unique restaurants and boutiques.

Majors and Faculty of Le Moyne College

Le Moyne offers students a supportive and close-knit environment in which to explore their potential, with small class sizes and a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1. With more than 30 majors from which to choose -- including innovative programs such as natural systems science, peace and global studies, environmental studies and physician assistant studies -- students are sure to find the course work that is right for them and which will prepare them for life's next step.

Their experiences in the classroom are supplemented by numerous opportunities to conduct research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Le Moyne students work outside of the classroom to take part in research around the country and the world. Through Le Moyne's Center for the Study of Environmental Change, students have joined faculty members on trips to Costa Rica, Iceland, and the big island of Hawaii to investigate the effects of global climate change on sensitive ecosystems and environments.

Study Abroad Program at Le Moyne College

In today's increasingly interconnected global society, students who participate in Le Moyne's study abroad program gain a critical advantage as they prepare for life and a successful career after college. Le Moyne's study abroad experiences include year-long, semester, and short-term programs.

Le Moyne currently has exchange agreements with the University of Essex and Leicester in England, the University of Stirling in Scotland, Charles University in the Czech Republic, and a consortium agreement in the Dominican Republic.

Students may also choose to utilize the study abroad programs of other colleges and universities provided that they receive approval from the chair of their department and Office of Global Education.

Jobs and Internships at Le Moyne College

Le Moyne's internship programs allow students to gain valuable professional experience while they are still in school. Our students have worked as interns for a number of outstanding organizations, including: Bristol-Myers Squib, Carrier Corporation, IBM, Lockheed Martin, National Grid, the New York Mets, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Upstate Medical University, and Zogby International.

Students are able to immerse themselves in their field of interest, and sharpen their communications and problem-solving skills, the same skills employers are looking for in today's competitive economy.
