Students choose USF for all sorts of reasons.

Some students come to USF because they’re seeking a rigorous academic experience in small classes with top professors. Others come looking for an education in the Jesuit tradition, with its commitment to social justice. Some students choose USF because we’re one of the most diverse universities in America. Some come to take advantage of the many international opportunities we offer. And of course, some come to us because we’re the University of San Francisco.

No matter why they choose USF, the students who find themselves here receive the finest and most rigorous education available, no matter what they study. Our five schools offer over 100 degree programs at the graduate and undergraduate level, yet maintain an average class size of just 28 students — and a student-to-faculty ratio of 15-to-1.

But classroom learning is only part of the story. Located in the center of one of the world’s most dynamic cities, we challenge our students to use their education to make a difference — to shape a better world.
