Jesuit. Personal. Urban.

Three main characteristics set Seattle University apart: our Jesuit tradition, our personal style of education and our strategic location in a city that shares our name.

Our Jesuit Tradition

A Seattle University education teaches you about you, the world and your place in it. It's the challenging and rewarding way of learning unique to the Jesuits, long-standing champions of the underserved. To learn more about Seattle University's commitment to Jesuit education please check out the Core Curriculum website.

A Personal Education

At Seattle University, we’re firm believers in the power of eye contact. Our classes are face-to-face, with small groups of teachers and students learning by watching, listening and interacting.

City Learning

Seattle is one of the world's greatest cities. Much of what makes it great—its global connectedness, natural beauty, environmental awareness, cutting-edge music scene, kind, progressive, civic ethic—is reflected in Seattle University, where we maximize our strategic urban location. Seattle is SU's laboratory.
