“Felician offered me tremendous help financially with scholarships and financial aid payment plans. It also prepared me to land my dream job as a Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse at New York Presbyterian Hospital, which I will begin after graduation. I loved my Felician experience so much, I’m planning to return to pursue my master’s degree.”
Franciscan Values
Founded in 1942 by the Felician Sisters, Felician University is one of the few Franciscan universities in the country, and the only one in New Jersey. We’ve built our reputation with an emphasis on service and respect for humanity, as was the dream of Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska – the foundress of the Felician Sisters more than a century ago. Even today, we strive to represent those values in everything we do.

What motivated our graduates to walk across that stage? 
It was more than just the promise of a diploma. It was the late nights filled with determination, the early mornings driven by purpose, and the belief that their dreams were worth the effort. It was the support of families, mentors, and friends who never let them forget their potential. It was every challenge they overcame, every lesson they learned, and the desire to create a future brighter than the past.
They walked not just to mark an end—but to begin what comes next.
