About
Founded in 1851, Saint Joseph’s University provides a liberal arts education rooted in the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and social justice. A wide range of majors and minors are offered across three schools: College of Arts and Sciences, Erivan K. Haub School of Business, and School of Health Studies and Education. Students are mentored by faculty scholars and exposed to a curriculum that allows for exploration, reflection, and personalized program combinations. Many students pursue double majors and our 4+1 bachelor’s/master’s programs allow students to graduate with both degrees in five years. The 125-acre campus in Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township offers the best of the city and suburbs. Co-ops and internships with local companies offer hands-on learning experiences. Upon graduation, nearly 100 percent of students are employed, pursuing advanced degrees, or volunteering. A proud member of the Atlantic 10 Conference, the Hawks compete in 20 Division I sports.
