Saint Joseph's University (also referred to as SJU or St. Joe's) is a private, coeducational Roman Catholic Jesuit university located in the Overbrook neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, and the Lower Merion Township on the historic Pennsylvania Main Line. The University was founded in 1851 as Saint Joseph's College by the Society of Jesus. Saint Joseph's is the seventh oldest Jesuit university in the United States and one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Saint Joseph's University educates over 9,000 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students each year through the Erivan K. Haub School of Business, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Program of Professional & Liberal Studies, and the Haub Degree Completion Program. The University offers over 60 undergraduate majors, 53 graduate programs, 28 study-abroad programs, 12 special-study options, a co-op program, a joint degree program with Thomas Jefferson University, and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. It has 17 centers and institutes, including the prestigious Kinney Center for Autism Education & Support and Pedro Arrupe Center for Business Ethics. Saint Joseph's has grown in physical size and scope since 2001 with the addition of the Maguire Campus, construction of new campus buildings, and the addition of new majors and programs annually. For the 2014 U.S. News and World Report rankings, in the Master's Universities (North) category, Saint Joseph's was ranked number 11.〔 The Saint Joseph's University athletics teams are called the Hawks. The Hawks are a NCAA Division I program that compete in the Atlantic-10 Conference and Philadelphia's Big 5. The official colors of the University are crimson and grey. The school mascot is the famous Hawk, which never stops flapping its wings while in costume. ==Jesuit and Catholic Identity== Roughly 100 Jesuits live on campus with 18 serving as faculty. The university's Jesuit Community lives in the Loyola Center, directly across the street from Barbelin Hall. The Loyola Center joins Manresa Hall, which is the home of the infirm Jesuits, and features a Carriage House (which serves as a "guest house"). Other Jesuit residences include St. Alphonsus House (at 5800 Overbrook Avenue) and Faber Hall (39 Berwick Road). A few Jesuits also live in residence halls; the university president maintains an apartment in the Merion Gardens Apartment building. The university also extensively uses its Jesuit identity in its branding. The university began "The Magis" campaign in 2013 to highlight this commitment to living greater. The Magis is taken from the motto of the society of Jesus "Ad maiorem Dei gloriam", meaning for "For the greater glory of God".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sju.edu/jesuit-identity )〕 The university also promotes the Jesuit principle of "cura personalis" or "Care for the whole person". The university requires undergraduates to complete a rigorous general education program that focuses heavily on traditional liberal arts disciplines. Every general education class is titled "154", which stands for the year 1540 AD the year the Society of Jesus was accepted by the Pope. On September 27, 2015, Pope Francis, himself a Jesuit, made a stop at the University during his two-day visit to Philadelphia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sju.edu/news-events/news/pontiff-makes-historic-visit-philadelphias-jesuit-university )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Joseph's University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
