Service, Faith & Justice

Central to a Jesuit education is the cultivation of community service, a passion for justice, and a life of faith. University of San Francisco students have many opportunities to apply these values to their studies, careers, and personal lives. Whatever your background, you will find a place to put your values and spiritual growth to action.

Empowered by the Mission

"I chose USF because I felt welcomed by the Jesuit values and empowered by the mission. Moreover, I could see students living out the mission through their actions and their demeanor. I felt like although the values were centered around the Jesuit tradition, that every student could apply them to their daily lives." –Jennifer Echeagaray '16
