History & Mission

Our past inspires our future.
In 1841, equipped with an enduring vision (and courage), Father Edward Sorin, CSC, set sail from France to the new world to establish Notre Dame and St. Edward’s universities. For more than 135 years, we’ve carried his passion for educating all who seek to realize their full potential, regardless of social standing, spiritual path or ability to pay. And along the way, we’ve changed a lot, too. See how far we’ve come and the mission we share.

We share a common purpose.
As international borders dissolve and technology and media explode daily, the mission of St. Edward’s and a Holy Cross education continue to transcend the times. The tectonic shifts and challenges of our world community require thoughtful minds, caring hearts and clarity of leadership. A St. Edward’s liberal arts education and its ability to instill the critical skills that weather life’s tests have never been more essential.

Our Mission

St. Edward’s University is an independent Catholic university that welcomes qualified students of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs and serves a culturally diverse student body.

The university’s undergraduate programs achieve a balance among the humanities, the sciences and the professions. These programs seek to make graduates competent in a chosen discipline, help them understand and appreciate the contributions of other disciplines and prepare them to further their life goals. Graduate and professional development programs enhance students’ knowledge and skills in order to prepare them to take advantage of more challenging employment opportunities.

St. Edward’s was founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, from which it acquired distinguishing characteristics: the courage to take risks, an international perspective and the commitment to provide educational opportunities for students of varied cultural, religious, educational and economic backgrounds.
