Comprehensive Full-Time Undergraduate Curriculum Review



Information about Jesuit education

 The Jesuit Tradition at Saint Joseph's  
         By Rev. Joseph J. Godfrey, S.J. It includes links to other information on Mission and Identity at SJU.

History of Jesuit Education
         At one time, there was a very nice online book compiled by John J. Callahan, S.J., from Rockhurst University. It included a short history of the life of Ignatius Loyola, a brief history of Jesuit education, and a section describing the influence of Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises on education. It no longer seems to be available. Part of it is reproduced here as "Discovering a Sacred World: Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises and Its Influence on Education."

Conversations on Jesuit Education
    Published twice per year; all copies are available electronically.  Numerous relevant articles; the link takes you to a page that lists them all by topic.

Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education
A frequently quoted article from 1987. It ultimately led to development of an influential survey, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). SJU NSSE results, as well as other survey information, are available as "Data Break" presentations (SJU login required).
