Some people know right away

From the moment they set foot on our urban campus, they connect with the warmth, energy, pride and sense of purpose that define Xavier University. For others, years pass before they fully appreciate the uniqueness of a pluralistic teaching and learning environment that makes Xavier students willing to accept the risks of revealing their true selves, tackling the tough courses, extending themselves to others, stepping out of their comfort zone, and standing for what they believe in.

“We are a strong liberal arts school. We understand that, whatever your discipline, it takes the entire university to produce a Xavier product - someone who is academically well-prepared, well-rounded and flexible enough to handle any requirement made of you once you leave here.”

Dr. Norman C. Francis, Xavier President and Alumnus of the Class of ’52
