RESEARCH at Saint Joseph's University
Our academic excellence is led by hands-on teacher-scholars pushing students beyond what is expected, guiding them to discovery of passion and purpose in their research. Students and faculty collaborate to confront a broad range of societal and health issues, from eliminating antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” to studying the role of hair salons in combating domestic violence in immigrant communities to conducting groundbreaking research that impacts the science and practice of 21st century healthcare.
Let’s Get Started
Students, faculty, visiting scholars and external partners will have opportunities to share their expertise and research methods in critical fields by collaborating to make an impact on the world for the greater good.
Our faculty and students develop new technologies, author books, publish their research findings in high-impact journals, and regularly present the results of their scholarly pursuits at local and national conferences.”

My students are so open to the research experience and going beyond their struggle to connect with students in the school-to-prison pipeline. The fact that they continue to integrate the knowledge generated from their research into their teaching is very inspiring to me."
