St Edwards University

(We’re a liberal arts university in Austin — and that’s just the beginning.) We are intellectuals with big hearts, as passionate about learning as we are changing the world. We are an international community with a Catholic heritage and students (and faculty) from all faiths, all nations and all walks of life. Our identity is shaped by our location in Austin, Texas, and strengthened by our partner universities all over the world. We are an award-winning educational institution, recognized by our peers and by places like U.S. News & World Report for what we offer our students — and what they accomplish with what they learn here. Who we are is rooted in where we come from. Our founders, the Congregation of Holy Cross, have been educating diverse students to think critically, act ethically and strive for social justice since the 1830s. Now it’s our turn. The people of St. Edward’s do remarkable things — alumni help students land life-changing internships, students and faculty members collaborate on mind-blowing research, and the whole community contributes thousands of hours of community service each year. And that’s just a broad overview.
