Frequently Asked Questions
Why recruit at Saint Peter’s University?
- Student Diversity: Saint Peter’s University has the most diverse student population among the 28 Jesuit Colleges and Universities in the nation, with more than 65 countries represented and 37 languages spoken.
- Academic Excellence: Our students are educated in the 450 year-old Jesuit tradition to excel intellectually, lead ethically, and serve compassionately. Faculty are tasked with developing rigorous and relevant curriculum that emphasizes effective communication skills (oral and written), information and computer literacy, technical competencies, and team-work/collaboration.
- Low Student-to-Faculty Ratio: Small class sizes ensure that students have ample opportunities to interact and mentor with faculty. Caring and committed faculty create an engaging learning environment that emphasizes practical applications of what is learned in the classroom.
- Community Engagement: Students participate in volunteer work and community service and are prepared to be “Men and Women for Others”.
- Focus on Career Readiness: At Saint Peter’s career preparedness starts in the Freshman Year. Students are encouraged to get internships and work experience before their Junior Year. CEEL works closely with students to help them develop transferable skills and professional etiquette.
