Located in the heart of Wilkes-Barre's vibrant historic district, Wilkes University is a great place to study history because the past is all around you.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre is full of historic buildings, including churches, stores, homes, and office buildings. River Commons park, located between Wilkes University and the Susquehanna River, is full of historical markers and a reminder that some of Wilkes-Barre’s founders came from New England as well as Pennsylvania.
History is also alive on the Wilkes campus: from the Victorian mansions that the university has re-used to a department rich in historical expertise that spans time periods and continents.
The city and the campus allow students to practice hands-on history, and to see and visit nearby places they have read about and discussed in classes.
