University Programs

Preparing Open Minds

Explore cultures and appreciate our differences. Find your place in the world. Become a change maker. Be changed along the way. At St. Edward’s University, students look beyond simplistic answers.

University Programs, the shared student academic experience, helps to impart the core values of a Holy Cross education. This team of dedicated faculty challenges eager minds to master the crucial life skills (moral reasoning, critical thinking, collaboration, writing and oral presentation) they’ll need to be successful — regardless of the life path they choose.
