Hawk Hill &
University City
On June 1, 2022 Saint Joseph's University University expanded its footprint with both city and suburban locations totaling 161 acres with Saint Joseph’s iconic Hawk Hill campus and the newly acquired University City campus. Saint Joseph's now offers more than ever to students: more than 200 programs of academic study, and more opportunities for hands-on learning including practicums, research, co-ops and internships.
Strong Philanthropic Foundation
The Hawk Will Never Die mindset lives within our far-reaching community and its unwavering commitment to always strive for more. To rally our alumni and friends, we have embarked on the largest fundraising campaign in our history: SOAR: The Campaign for Saint Joseph’s University.
Campus Master Plan
In recent decades, Saint Joseph’s University has nearly doubled its campus footage and now stands at an impressive 125 acres in western Philadelphia and Montgomery County and 24 acres in University City. Saint Joseph's University is in the midst of a bold, aspirational Campus Master Plan that aims to ultimately create a world-class student experience.
