St. Jerome's University

St. Jerome’s University is a public Roman Catholic university federated with the University of Waterloo and historically associated with the educational vision of the Congregation of the Resurrection. We are committed to learning and academic excellence; the gospel values of love, truth, and justice; and the formation of leaders for the service of the community and the Church. In all of our activities and practices, St. Jerome’s University functions within the context of the Roman Catholic tradition and the principles of academic freedom. Founded in 1865, St. Jerome's University registers full-time and part-time students in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. Students enjoy the advantages of a small, vigorous academic community while having access to all courses, facilities, and services of the University of Waterloo and its affiliated University Colleges: Conrad Grebel, Renison, and St. Paul's. The University offers its students a wide range of courses informed by the latest scholarly research, and supports their educational efforts with academic counselling, scholarships, and bursaries, administrative services, library resources, information technology, and residences. The campus is also a centre for a vibrant Catholic community in the region.
