Wheeling Jesuit University was founded in 1954 as one of America's 28 Jesuit institutions of higher learning. It is located less than an hour from Pittsburgh in one of the nation's safest cities where traditions of live music, culture, an excellent park system and a fascinating industrial heritage provide an uncommon background for academic pursuits.
The purpose of Jesuit education is to produce students who can contribute intelligently and effectively to the welfare of society because they are competent and virtuous. At Wheeling Jesuit, those educational traditions exist side-by-side with the energizing emergence of new learning technologies on a modern picturesque campus.
