 | | Today Duquesne University is a progressive, educational community which has more than tripled from its early 12.5 acres to its present, self-enclosed 40-acre campus on the "Bluff." Duquesne was cited by USA Today as having the safest campus in Pennsylvania and one of the safest campuses in the nation. |
 | | It is Duquesne University's special trust to seek truth and disseminate knowledge within a moral and spiritual framework in order to prepare leaders distinguished not only by their academic and professional expertise, but also by their ethics, and guided by consciences sensitive to the needs of society. |
 | | Duquesne serves God by serving students - through an academic community dedicated to excellence in liberal and professional education, through profound concern for moral and spiritual values, through the maintenance of an ecumenical atmosphere open to diversity, and through service, to the Church, the community, the nation, and the world. |
