What is the focus of Jesuit education?
The aim of Jesuit education is to help individuals become leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion. We want our graduates to excel, and to bring to their lives an ethical perspective and a commitment to help build a more just and humane world. As SCU professor and author Francisco Jimenez says, “Jesuit education stands for strong academics, but it also includes a unique emphasis on meaning and purpose. Often, that means determining not just a workable solution for a problem, but the solution-given those particular circumstances-that represents the right thing to do.
