Description: St. Peter's College was founded in 1872 by the Jesuits as a Catholic liberal arts college for men. Situated in an urban setting, the college seeks to develop the whole person in preparation for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and service in a diverse and global society. In 1966, St. Peter's became coeducational and today educates students from 65 countries all over the world. Committed to academic excellence and individual attention, St. Peter's College provides education, informed by values, primarily in degree-granting programs in the arts, sciences, and business to resident and commuting students from a variety of backgrounds.
