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. It built its reputation with an emphasis on service and respect for humanity, as was the dream of the Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, foundress of the Felician Sisters more than a century ago. Even today, it strives to represent those values in everything it does.
