It All Starts at SLU

At ¶¶Òõpro, your education is more than the classes you take, the grades you get and the degree you earn. It's even more than the career you'll start after graduation. It's about who you will become and how you'll respond to the way the world changes. It's about how your mind, opinions and insights grow. It's being prepared to make meaningful impact and change. And it starts your freshman year.
