2 Saint Louis University is a place where knowledge touches lives. What we mean by that is that SLU is much more than a place that develops employable graduates. Yes, we're a leading national research university that provides more than 11,800 students a first-rate education. We prepare them to land great jobs in medicine, law, business, engineering, teaching, and many other fields; but we do much more than that. As a Jesuit, Catholic university, SLU focuses on developing a complete person. Our students not only receive a rigorous education, but also develop character and a conscience. They become strong leaders with solid values, empowered to make positive contributions to society. The contributions of these students and our outstanding faculty make a difference in the world. That's why we call Saint Louis University a place where knowledge touches lives.
