History
Saint Peter’s College, the Jesuit College of New Jersey, was founded as a liberal arts college for men in 1872. When classes first started in Jersey City on September 2, 1878, seventy-one students originally enrolled in the Preparatory Department.
On August 17, 2012, Saint Peter’s College officially became known as Saint Peter’s University.
Education
For nearly five hundred years, many of the world’s great leaders and changemakers have had something in common: a Jesuit education. That’s likely because the Jesuit model of education is about more than book studies—it’s about cura personalis, care for the whole person, personal attention, giving back and, yes, rigorous academics. Jesuit education focuses on transformation, becoming the best version of you, so you in turn can affect change on the world around you.
Every academic program at Saint Peter’s University is rooted in this powerful idea. Whether you’re a high school student, a college student, a working professional or somewhere in between, this could be the first step on your journey to a better you.
Research
The Office of Faculty Research and Sponsored Programs (OFRSP) is located on the lower level of the O’Toole Library. The OFRSP offers assistance to faculty and administrators in locating, writing, and processing government grants. Also handled through the OFRSP, are internal faculty award applications such as those pertaining to fellowships and funds to do research.
Career

CEEL strives to prepare and empower students to make informed career choices that will lead to meaningful careers and purposeful lives.
