Recognized globally as a premier Jesuit university, the University of San Francisco (USF) is a reflection of the inclusive, inspirational and innovative city that surrounds it. USF welcomes those of every faith and no faith, and students from all backgrounds receive an education that is intensely personal and intellectually demanding. USF is one of the top twenty on Forbes’s list of most entrepreneurial universities and is No. 7 in the nation for campus ethnic diversity, according to the 2015 U.S. News & World Report.
