At the University of San Francisco, we look for the best in our applicants. We consider your potential and drive because we look for students who will make the most of what we have to offer:

- an academic community rooted in the Jesuit Catholic tradition

- an educational philosophy that promotes social justice and service to others

- rigorous scholarship combined with a commitment to the global community and a challenge to pursue your passions

- a dedicated, committed faculty and an education that prepares you for success

We recognize the importance of educating the whole person, and understand that the time you spend in the classroom will be balanced by activities and opportunities on campus and in the community.  By living and studying with students from all socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, and by experiencing the surrounding community, you will take what you learn in class and apply theory to practice, in the real world.  Since 1855, USF has graduated thousands of men and women who have contributed to the growth and development of the city, our country, and the world.
