What Is A Jesuit Education?
Jesuit education is a 500-year-old academic tradition that prepares students to lead lives of purpose and service. With a focus on quality teaching, critical thinking, and academic excellence and scholarship, a Jesuit higher education helps shape “people for and with others.”
Why should you choose a Jesuit college?
Join a global community with a collective identity rooted in leadership and a passion for justice. Jesuit colleges encourage you to think deeply about who you want to be and the contribution you want to make, supporting your development as a unique, whole, complex person and launching you on a lifetime of being more and doing more for the world.

"I was a math and science kid and the Jesuit education at Fordham made it possible not just to excel in science but expand how I saw the world through public service and mentors. Now I help people lead better lives, every day.”

“I was really interested in the sciences. I realized the best way I could use that skillset—while also living the Jesuit motto of being men and women for [and with] others—would be through a career in medicine. The mentorship opportunities as a student and Jesuit values were invaluable.”

“Our liberal arts education from St. Joe's has been absolutely essential to our success. Our business is incredibly multifaceted and the breadth of a Jesuit education provided us with a large and varied collection of tools that we used to build it, grow it and adapt it as needed.”
