For more than 140 years, Saint Peter’s University has strived to fulfill its mission as a Jesuit, Catholic institution by offering the opportunity to enter into sophisticated academic discourse; by creating pathways to work for social justice; by contributing cutting-edge research; and by continuing to positively enhance the reputation of higher education in New Jersey.

Saint Peter’s University is one of twenty-eight Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States and the only one in New Jersey.  The institution has offered an education based on the fundamental values of academic excellence, leadership, service and faith. Dedicated to providing a high quality and affordable Jesuit education to our students, the University offers an extensive scholarship program and the second lowest Jesuit tuition rate on the East Coast.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, knew that the body, mind and spirit could be uniquely nourished in educational institutions. At Saint Peter’s, the opportunities for personal growth are endless.

The University has an enrollment of approximately 3,000 full-time and part-time students hailing from across the country and the globe.  Students at Saint Peter’s University receive the personal attention, encouragement, and dedication of our faculty and staff that they need to graduate on time and go out into the world as “men or women for others.”
