WHEN PEACOCKS FLY, THEY LIFT UP EVERYBODY

Our Jesuit identity keeps us grounded and focused on each individual—and that’s why there are so many opportunities here for students to share their talents, collaborate and grow as the kind of leader who has a strong moral and ethical compass. It is truly an educational experience outside the classroom too, as we bring our Jesuit values to the field and beyond.

Cheer on one of the 16 NCAA Division I athletic programs (or just go to a game to support your friends). Be a part of a diverse campus where over 40 languages are spoken. Explore growing programs in fields like Data Science and Nursing. By the time our students graduate, they know what they can do: a lot.

A COMMITTEMENT TO AFFORDABILITY


We are committed to working with you and your family so that cost will not prevent you from attending and getting an education. That assistance doesn’t end at freshman year; we’ll guide you through the financial aid process all four years. Most students receiving a combination of financial aid, grants, and scholarships pay less than attending an in-state public university plus eligible New Jersey students can attend Saint Peter’s at no cost!

THIS IS HANDS-ON, FIRST PERSON LEARNING

Eighty percent of Peacocks have some form of experiential learning, which is higher than the national average. These aren’t “extras”—they’re woven into classwork. This prepares our students to enter the workforce with the skills they need to tackle today’s challenges. For the Class of 2023, the career outcomes rate was 99.6% for students who were either employed, enrolled in continuing education, participating in a program of voluntary service, or serving in the military.

Alumni agree – Saint Peter’s prepares them to be a leader. 

PART OF JERSEY CITY’S BRIGHT FUTURE
Talk about companionship - Saint Peter’s has been a part of the most diverse city in the nation for more than 150 years.
