About us
Seattle University is a private Catholic university rooted in the Jesuit tradition, located on 55 acres in Seattle’s Capitol Hill district. Founded in 1891, the university is home to several schools and colleges, including the Albers School of Business and Economics, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Nursing, the College of Science and Engineering, and the School of Law. It offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
The university is deeply committed to the principles of the liberal arts, emphasizing intellectual development and fostering a strong sense of care for society and the community. While initially an urban, mixed-use campus, Seattle University has since developed stunning grounds free of pesticide applications. It provides students with a variety of educational and voluntary energy conservation programs and is actively engaged in enhancing its sustainability policies.
