For 500+ years and in the face of continuous change and complexity, Jesuit universities have provided clarity by asking:
Grow in self-awareness, resilience, and compassion.
Embrace leadership grounded in integrity and empathy.
Cultivate wisdom, curiosity, and ethical judgment.
Apply knowledge to real-world challenges and communities.
Use your skills to promote justice, equity, and the common good.
Engage in service, internships, and experiential learning opportunities.
At ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, you’ll explore questions that build collaboration, courage, and determination. Your education goes beyond career preparation to shape your character, strengthen your community, and prepare you for a meaningful future.
Your education at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ reaches far beyond campus, into Cleveland and across the world. Through service-immersion trips, nonprofit partnerships, and community-based research, you will put learning into action and embrace a worldview that is steadfastly optimistic, compassionate, and rooted in love. Giving back is an expectation we all share, and principles of justice and equity guide every area of study. Here, you will work with local organizations and leaders to create real, lasting opportunities that make a difference for our neighbors and the broader community.
Grounded in the values of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, Jesuit colleges and universities have always sought out students of every background and faith. Here we honor every life story, foster respectful dialogue, and encourage courageous, meaningful inquiry to create a community where everyone belongs.
Jesuit education pushes you beyond the easy path, inviting you to take on projects, internships, and experiences that stretch your mind and heart. Guided by the principle of magis, you are encouraged to think deeper, serve further, and grow into the fullest expression of your talents. This is learning that prepares you for a life of purpose, leadership, and meaningful contribution to the world.
Jesuit education nurtures your capacity to reflect, grow, and understand yourself and your place in the world. We call this process “discernment.” At ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, you will be met where you are, never separating the development of your mind from your growth as a unique, whole, complex person. Expanding your curiosity, encouraging you to ask tough questions, and helping you develop a clear sense of purpose and spiritual well-being are all equally important to us, because they contribute to the impact you can make for the greater good.
The Jesuit alumni network is more than two million strong, and we want you to be part of it. Rooted in 500 years of tradition and shared values, our graduates are united by a passion for wisdom, justice, and service. They will tell you their Jesuit education shaped them into leaders and problem-solvers, and they give back by mentoring and opening doors for new generations. This is a community eager to share wisdom, friendship, and connections with you so you can begin a lifetime of being more and doing more for the world.
