Jesuit college
Ignatian higher education
A Jesuit college is a university or college founded and operated by the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic religious order known for its emphasis on education.
These institutions combine liberal arts traditions with Catholic intellectual heritage: Georgetown, Boston College, and Loyola are all Jesuit colleges.
The term typically implies rigorous academics, service orientation, and formation of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
