We are compassionate, creative thinkers and problem solvers, as devoted to learning as we are to improving the world. We offer a highly personalized university experience. Our students work one-on-one with a success coach to develop a personal roadmap for engaging fully in their St. Edward's education. We are a diverse community represented by many faiths, nations and walks of life - and with partner universities across the globe. Our identity is shaped by our location in Austin - a world-class city of innovation, culture and opportunities. We are an award-winning educational institution, recognized by our peers and organizations like U.S. News & World Report for what we offer our students - and what they accomplish with what they learn here. Who we are is inspired by our Catholic founders, the Congregation of Holy Cross, who have educated students to think critically, act ethically and strive for social justice since the 1830s. We honor that mission, proudly and purposefully.
