By welcoming the differences that make us unique, USF makes a difference.

Jesuit values compel us to build a truly welcoming community that is enriched by people of different abilities, ages, colors, creeds, faiths, philosophies, gender orientations, cultures, nationalities, family backgrounds, and educational experiences. A third of University of San Francisco students are the first in their families to attend college. For some, English is not the first language. USF students include U.S. military veterans and international students from over 60 countries. They are lifelong learners returning to school and undergraduates just beginning their journeys. They are a lot like you.

A Place for Everyone
