Message from the Chancellor

Welcome to Leighton University!

As leader of Leighton University, I am excited to introduce you to our great University. Our website is an extension of the inviting learning environment that exists at Leighton. Whether you seek specific information or learn more about Leighton University, you will find this site to be an engaging gateway to an exciting future.

Our Motto is clear –Ad Vitam Paramus [translated “we are preparing for the future”].  At Leighton University, we know that education for the future is about more than learning skills for a career - it is also preparation for life. I recognize and appreciate your interest in learning more about Leighton University. Please know that I do welcome phone calls from all future students.  I would want to talk to you about what has gone before and our many exciting plans. Furthermore, if we had that opportunity to visit, I would talk to you about our purpose – about this great university's mission that is poised to change the landscape of distance learning and what makes this university the unique institution of higher learning that it is. Furthermore, I would speak to you about the faculty who work hard in teaching and research, the staff who have come here to serve, and the administrators who have come here to lead, all for one reason -- to influence our students' lives for the future!

We celebrate our university's uniqueness and invite you to discover Leighton as you go about choosing the "right" university -- for you! Please explore this catalog as well as the University's website.  I encourage you to review the admission requirements, complete and submit the application form for admission or call an admissions representative to get a detailed description and the trust we have in our programs to prepare you for the future  - Ad Vitam Paramus!

Thank you for choosing Leighton University.
