WHOLE-PERSON EDUCATION
Founded in Philadelphia in 1851, Saint Joseph's University embraces the Jesuit educational model. This means that we recognize you are a multidimensional individual — not just a student — who needs the freedom and encouragement to grow mentally, spiritually, personally and creatively. It means we will invite you to be both reflective and active — in the classroom and in the community. We will support you. We will challenge you. We will guide you on the path to seeking the greater good, living your purpose and finding God in all things.
Living Our Mission
True to our Jesuit Catholic tradition, we go deeper at Saint Joseph’s. Deeper into self-reflection and critical thinking, so that we can be of greater service for the world and for its people. These values transcend religion. At Saint Joseph’s, we are women and men from all walks of life working shoulder-to-shoulder with members of our community to build a more just and thriving society.
