It was founded in 1847 and conducted under the tradition of the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular. The university is situated on {{convert|600|acre|ha|0}} in the forests and farmland of Loretto. HistorySaint Francis College was established in 1847 by six Franciscan teaching Brothers from Mountbellew, Ireland, who had been given land in Loretto by Michael O'Connor, the first Bishop of Pittsburgh, to establish a school.[5] The university was one of the first Catholic universities in the United States and the first Franciscan college in the nation. Although it originally only admitted males, it became one of the first Catholic Universities to become co-educational. Loretto is the site of the first English-language Roman Catholic settlement established west of the Allegheny Front, in what is now the United States, by Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin in 1799. In 2001 Saint Francis College was approved to change to become a university by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and renamed to Saint Francis University. AcademicsSaint Francis University enrolls approximately 1704 undergraduate students (of whom 37% are male and 63% female) and 605 graduate students.[2] The university offers 25 undergraduate majors and 7 graduate fields of study (including Physical Therapy, in which the University awards a doctorate) to its students.[4] The university maintains an average graduation rate of 70.3%.[3] CampusThe main building for the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, which also has a number of smaller facilities across the local region, is located on campus. Also on the campus are The DiSepio Institute for Rural Health and Wellness,[5] the Center for the Study of Occupational Regulation (CSOR),[6] Center for Watershed Research & Service,[7] and The Institute for Contemporary Franciscan Life.[8] Immergrün Golf Course is a semi-private, nine-hole, regulation-length 3,234-yard, par-36 course on rye grass located on the campus of Saint Francis University at 105 Saint Elizabeth Street. Immergrün has not been altered since Donald Ross built it for the steel magnate Charles M. Schwab in 1917.[9] Saint Francis University also runs a campus at Ambialet France in the Midi-Pyrénées.[10] All classes are in English. {{Gallery|title=Saint Francis University campus| File:Jfkcenter.JPG|The John F.
