  The St. Ignatius Institute offers a curriculum that focuses on foundational texts in the Western intellectual tradition, reading classic thinkers and writers such as Homer, Dante, Austen, and Nietzsche. Courses include, among others, Ancient Greek and Roman Literature, Medieval Thought, Modern Philosophy, and Music and Art. Class sizes in SII are typically half of the size of standard Core classes. Students of any major can complete SII, and many SII students spend time studying abroad, including an SII-only program of study at Oxford University in England.

In addition to a rigorous academic program, SII students have the option of participating in a vibrant SII-only dorm floor, as well as regular community activities that include opportunities for service, foreign travel, and spirituality.
