Saint Louis University (SLU) is a private Jesuit research university in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.[3] Founded in 1818 by Louis William Valentine DuBourg,[8] it is the oldest university west of the Mississippi River and the second-oldest Jesuit university in the United States. The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.[9]
In the 2023–2024 academic year, SLU had an enrollment of 15,204 students. The student body included 8,502 undergraduate students and 6,702 graduate students that represent all 50 states and 96 countries.[4] The university is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[10]
For more than 50 years, the university has maintained the Saint Louis University Madrid Campus in Spain.[11] The Madrid campus was the first freestanding campus operated by an American university in Europe and the first American institution to be recognized by Spain's higher education authority as an official foreign university.[citation needed]
SLU's athletic teams compete in the NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference.[12]
