| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | THE UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH, FOUNDED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION, PROVIDES A RIGOROUS LIBERAL ARTS AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR A DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION IN AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES STRONG ETHICAL VALUES, PERSONAL INTEGRITY, AND A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY TO THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4a | COLLEGE AND MASTERS/DOCTORAL PROGRAMS: In June 2017, the University's Board of Trustees voted unanimously to make the undergraduate college coeducational, accepting men as students beginning with the 2018-2019 academic year. Students select from an array of dynamic majors, minors, dual majors, and concentrations, proceeding to realize their ambitions. Experiential learning is incorporated across the curriculum, and faculty prepare students for meaningful professional careers or graduate studies. Seamless undergraduate to graduate degree program tracks save time and money and build the foundation for a successful career, as many degree programs lead to professional licenses. As an NCAA Division III school, the University of Saint Joseph hosts 12 varsity teams, in addition to intramurals and numerous recreation and wellness programs. The University is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). The 90-acre suburban campus in prestigious West Hartford, Connecticut is known among colleges for its aesthetics and prime location: a few miles from major Hartford employers or entertainment and shopping in Blue Back Square, and midway between Boston and New York City. IN ADDITION TO THE UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGE WITH 694 STUDENTS ENROLLED, THE UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH HAS A GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM OFFERING MASTER'S DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES TO 1,352 STUDENTS; A WEEKEND PROGRAM SERVING 116 ADULT LEARNERS PURSUING THEIR BACCALAUREATE DEGREES; AND A SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, OFFERING A UNIQUE THREE-CALENDAR-YEAR DOCTORAL DEGREE (PHARM.D.) PROGRAM IN PHARMACY. IN 2017 THE SCHOOL HAD 243 STUDENTS. IN 2016, USJ ANNOUNCED THAT ITS NEW PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT (PA) PROGRAM WAS GRANTED ACCREDITATION-PROVISIONAL STATUS BY THE ACCREDITATION REVIEW COMMISSION ON EDUCATION FOR THE PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT (ARC-PA). THIS ACCREDITATION - THE FIRST IN A MULTI-STEP ACCREDITATION PROCESS - ALLOWED USJ TO ENROLL THE INAUGURAL CLASS OF ITS PA PROGRAM IN JANUARY 2017. USJ'S NEW PA PROGRAM IS A 28-MONTH, COEDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOCUSING ON COLLABORATIVE APPROACHES TO PATIENT-CENTERED CARE THAT ENHANCES TREATMENT PLANS AND CAN IMPROVE OUTCOMES IN A CHANGING AND EVOLVING HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. |
