WHEN PEACOCKS FLY, THEY LIFT UP EVERYBODY
At Saint Peter’s, you will find a university that thinks like you do. We value who you are, your story and your whole person. That’s our Jesuit values at work.
We equip students with the knowledge and experiences they need to belong anywhere and know anything is possible. Words like “grit,” “tenacity,” and “fearless,” are so often evoked in talking about our students and alumni. Does that sound like you?
Peacocks come here with big hearts and big dreams, and they leave ready to give back to the world in a big way—as role models for their families, their communities and their professions.
This is hands-on, first-person learning
Ninety 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. And they’re a direct result of longstanding relationships that faculty have in every profession and sector, and loyal alumni who are eager to pay back by helping new generations of Peacocks find their way in the world. With four schools of study encompassing more than 50 majors and minors, your academic options are varied and full of discovery.An Experience That’s Centered On You
Saint Peter’s University has terrific momentum, but our Jesuit identity keeps us grounded and focused on each individual. We are committed to working with you and your family so that cost will not prevent you from attending and getting an education.
