Transcript of SJU Brochure for International Students
Going around the world for your education. That’s
the magis.
sju.edu/livegreater
What’s magis? It’s a Jesuit principle that calls us to do more, like traveling to another country for the best education possible. Magis inspires us to think more broadly, work a little harder, and make each choice better than the last. Living the magis opens up a whole world of opportunity for us to make life better – not just for ourselves, but also for others. Where might magis lead you?
live greater.

Students from more than 50 nations call Saint Joseph’s University home. Saint Joseph’s has been offering programs for international students for more than 30 years. They come from Chile, China, France, Ghana, India, Kuwait, Nigeria, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, and many more places around the world. International students help us create a global community on our campus. SJU has more than 100 student clubs and organizations, some tailored for international students. And our Office of Multicultural Life organizes events like Intercultural Week that bring our community together. Because as much as you can learn from Americans, we also want to learn from you.
At the Center for International Programs (CIP), you will find support for everything you’ll need to be successful – from your immigration paperwork to transportation, academic tutoring and applying for OPT or CPT. The Center also organizes International Education Week and events around Philadelphia.
We look forward to welcoming you to Saint Joseph’s.
