On behalf of the entire University community, I invite you to learn more about our mission. As a Jesuit, Catholic university, Saint Joseph's is committed to creating an ever-improving, all-encompassing educational experience that tends to the mind, nurtures the soul, and promotes a just society. That experience draws life from countless factors, such as the rigor and excellence of the University's academic life, a scholarship underscored by our being one of only 142 schools nationwide with both a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business-school accreditation. It includes a mutually supportive campus life that challenges all students to strive for something more every day. And it is marked by a 150-year-old commitment, made by alumni, faculty members, students, and staff, to change the world. This is what we mean by Spirit | Intellect | Purpose, a phrase we use often to encapsulate the essence of the Saint Joseph's experience.

In the centuries-old Ignatian tradition, the people of Saint Joseph's University are men and women for and with others. Whether you're a prospective student, an alumnus, a parent, or a friend of the University, won't you consider joining us?
