Saint Peter's College

The special character of Saint Peter’s College is defined by its Jesuit heritage, size, diversity, location, student life, and affordability. One of 28 U.S. Jesuit colleges and the only Jesuit college in NJ, St. Peter’s is committed to academic excellence and to developing graduates to learn, to lead and to serve society. With a ratio of one faculty to thirteen students, the College is ideally sized. Total enrollment is approximately 3,000 students. More than half of the freshman class resides on campus. Our remarkably diverse students originate from around U.S. and more than 60 countries. While providing personal attention, the College is large enough to offer 40 majors, an Honors Program, internships, service learning, study abroad, and a Washington semester. Joint professional degree programs include Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy, Clinical Lab Sciences, and Pharmacy. St. Peter’s location is also ideal. The main campus is on 25 acres in the heart of Jersey City, the second largest city in New Jersey, and just 12 minutes by train from the cultural and financial resources of New York City. Campus life is enhanced by 40 student-run organizations and 20 NCAA Division I teams. Committed to affordability, St. Peter’s offers among the lowest tuitions of the Jesuit Colleges: 89% of students receive financial aid and the average award is $19,000.
