Saint Joseph’s University (SJU) is a private Jesuit university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, known for strong programs in business, nursing, psychology, biology, health sciences, and the liberal arts plus a close‑knit campus feel and Division I athletics. Students often rave about the faith‑based but open‑minded community, small class sizes, many clubs and ministry opportunities, and the chance to live in a major city while still enjoying a supportive, values‑driven environment.
Common Majors
business administration, nursing, psychology, biology, health sciences
“I love St. Joe’s small‑school energy, how professors treat you more like a person than a number, and how easy it is to get involved in clubs and Philly‑area internships, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the Jesuit‑heavy culture can feel intense if you’re not into it, and the campus can feel a bit quiet socially outside of Greek life once you’re past the first‑year hype.”
