WE ARE #JESUITEDUCATED

hands-on, first-person learning
A PATH FOR EVERY PASSION.
Eighty percent of Peacocks have some form of
experiential learning, which is higher than the national average—field experiences,
practicums, paid internships, faculty-mentored research, study abroad and community
engagement. These aren’t “extrasâ€â€”they’re woven into classwork. And they’re a direct
result of longstanding relationships that faculty have in every profession and sector, and
loyal alumni who are eager to pay back by helping new generations of Peacocks find their
way in the world.

DIVISION I ATHLETICS
FEEL THE PEACOCK PRIDE.
We’re one of 11 NCAA Division I universities in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. With 16 intercollegiate sports, there’s always something to cheer for.
Jersey City
12 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN.
The best of the best is right at our doorstep. BTÂìÒÏ University is located just a 12-minute train ride from the heart of New York City.
Jersey City is much more than the “Sixth Borough.†It is having its own moment now: the most
diverse city in the nation, it’s a sought-after place to live, a growing arts destination, a new outpost for
Hollywood film and TV production, and a financial center in its own right. We’re proud to
have called this city home for 150+ years!
OUR COMMUNITY
We look like the world—and feel like home.
Many of our students are the first in their
family to attend college. But with 40 languages spoken on our campus and a small, closeknit
community, everyone can find a little bit of home here—and make friends they would
not have met otherwise. BTÂìÒÏ is a place where people look out for and show up for
each other—it’s a big reason why our students want to do the same in their lives beyond
college: They know how it feels to be seen and known—whether it’s in the classroom,
walking across campus or having people in their corner when it matters most.
