About Salus University

Born from a legacy in vision care, Salus University is known for hands-on health sciences with a strong clinical bend. Students move between classrooms, simulation labs, and patient-care centers. And the vibe stays down-to-earth. The culture is collaborative and tight-knit, with faculty support that ranges from tutoring and advising to wellness services and a learning commons.

Life on campus leans practical but never dull. Student groups run service projects, screenings, and socials; the fitness center and nearby parks make study breaks easy. Being just outside Philadelphia brings access to hospitals, community clinics, and a broad network for placements and mentorship. Salus has a reputation for interprofessional teamwork and community outreach, with white-coat moments that mark the step from classroom to clinic.
