Inclusive and Holistic Academic Excellence  

Our commitment to educating the whole person ensures you graduate Seattle University with the critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and analytical skills needed to excel in your life’s work. You develop these skills in the small classes directly taught by faculty who care about your growth and view you as future leaders. These skills are fine-tuned through real-world experiential learning in the form of internships, research projects, community-engaged learning, and study abroad opportunities.  

We’re consistently focused on helping you develop every facet of who you are. This whole-person Jesuit-based approach nourishes the mind, body and spirit. It also helps you become a well-rounded individual who is socially responsible, ethically grounded and globally aware so you can thrive wherever you go.
