Located in central Pennsylvania in the small city of Lock Haven, LHU is the perfect setting to focus on your studies … and have a lot of fun on the way to your degree.

LHU is a great place to get an education, expand your mind, broaden your horizons, and launch a successful career.

Luckily there’s a great choice to meet all your needs (you know what we’re going to say next) Lock Haven University ... or as we like to call it, “The Haven.”

Small College Lifestyle, Big University Education

Your goal in researching colleges is not to find the best college ... it is to find the best college for you.

The Haven is a place where all of your classes will be taught by faculty (never a graduate assistant) and where you will have easy access to your professors, experiencing all that a small college lifestyle has to offer.

It is also where you will find a big university education. 98% of our graduates find employment, attend graduate school or enroll in the military within six months of graduation. The sky is the limit and if you work hard, your degree from LHU will take you wherever you wish to go.

Please check out our website. At the top of this page you’ll find links with plenty of info about The Haven. On the left, you’ll find links for applying, financial aid, and visiting campus...and definitely make sure you visit campus. Many students have told us they “fell in love” with The Haven on their very first visit!

We’re really glad you stopped by. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us .
