"To be honest with you..."

I would never have taken theology and philosophy courses if Xavier hadn't required it. But as I sat through those classes and got involved in different discussions...I had a chance to think about real life moral and ethical issues I might face in the future.

Those courses forced me to look at things other than from a scientific perspective. I'll admit, I got something I can apply to my life. This is one of those experiences that gives you a sense that, if you come to Xavier and work your way through, you will be prepared - for anything.”

- Victor McCray, Class of 2001

“Xavier students - more so than most, I think - buy into the notion that they are being educated not just so they will succeed, but so they can make society a better place.”

- Dr. Joe LeFevre, Professor of Philosophy

Music, to a great extent, has long been the public face of Xavier. Our choral groups conduct an annual spring tour, our students have performed before the Pope in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, and Xavier alumni showcase their training - as teachers, recording artists, critics, and performers - around the world.

It opens lots of doors for you. I wouldn't trade it for anything.”

- Marcus Jennings, Class of 2006
