Future Golden Flyers Start Here!
As a new Nazareth student, this is where you’ll find everything you need in one place: key programs, orientation information, your student dashboard, and resources built to support you every step of the way. Use this hub to explore what’s available, stay on track, and start your Nazareth journey smooth, stress-free, and with confidence.
S.O.A.R. (Student Orientation for Achievement and Readiness) is a brand new program where excitement meets preparation and confidence takes flight. Designed to help students feel grounded, connected, and ready for what’s ahead, S.O.A.R. blends community-building, academic guidance, and campus exploration into a one-day high-energy experience.
Fall Orientation at Nazareth University is more than a checklist. It’s your warm welcome, your launchpad, and your first real taste of life as a Golden Flyer. From the moment you arrive on campus, you’ll be invited into the Flyer community, supported in your transition, and set up with the confidence and tools you need to begin your academic journey with purpose.
Incoming freshmen accepted into the HEOP or Young Scholars programs will join a four-week on-campus experience focused on academic preparation, personal growth, and building meaningful connections before the fall semester begins. You’ll sharpen your skills, get to know campus, and form relationships with peers, faculty, and staff who are here to support you from day one.
This selective summer bridge program is designed to help students interested in health and science pathways start their Nazareth journey with confidence.
Supported through Nazareth University’s Title III grant, the program is especially designed for students admitted through Open Path Health and select Nursing, Physical Therapy (PT), or Occupational Therapy (OT) students.
A student is identified as a first-generation college student if neither parent/guardian earned a bachelor's degree. Being the first member of your family to attend college is a big accomplishment and an exciting challenge.
