CAMPUS SUMMARY

The University of San Francisco is a Jesuit university located in a beautiful residential neighborhood of San Francisco. The 54-acre campus spans two hilltops and is just ten minutes from downtown, the Pacific Ocean and steps from Golden Gate Park. Student life at USF is full of activities (many student clubs and organizations), athletics (USF has won seven NCAA championships), and recreation (a world class health and fitness center). With five residence halls and more than half the students living on campus, USF is a great place to study and live.

UNIQUE PROGRAMS

Students can choose from over 35 majors in the Liberal Arts, Fine Arts (including Architecture), Sciences, 3/2 Engineering, Business, or Nursing. However, regardless of major, a comprehensive general education curriculum in the humanities and sciences is required of all students. USF also offers a traditional Jesuit curriculum in a great books format called the St. Ignatious Institute.
