Quincy University is a Catholic, co-educational residential higher education institution located in Quincy, Illinois. Founded in 1860 by Franciscan friars, it offers undergraduate and graduate programs along with education for adult learners, combining liberal arts study with active learning, practical experience, and Franciscan values. The university sponsors 19 intercollegiate teams that compete in NCAA Division II, within the Great Lakes Valley Conference for both men and women. Recent developments include a February 2026 partnership with the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Inc., linking Quincy University with other Franciscan universities. The campus also maintains active programming and events, such as Alumni Day, that engage students, alumni, and the broader community.
