Global Education
SLUH embraces a global education model that illuminates the vision of St. Ignatius.A globally conscious education is vital to succeed in our modern world of collaboration, diversity and rapid change, while providing the knowledge and understanding of culture, language, and global perspectives needed to carry out our Jesuit mission.
To achieve this mission, our Global Education Curriculum focuses on a "glocal" approach, offering SLUH students various global programs with an international travel component as well as local opportunities to develop global citizenship skills on our campus and in the St. Louis community.
