Built on the Strength of Jesuit Principles

Like St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, we believe that a holistic education relies on personal attention and deep care. Fr. Ricci, S.J., the namesake of the College, was a 16th century Italian scholar in China who worked closely with the local people, learning from the Chinese while simultaneously sharing European ideas.

Drawing from Ricci’s practices of collaboration and understanding, Matteo Ricci College invites students to join important conversations about the meaning of faith, justice, and life. Learn about the history of Matteo Ricci College.

Educating the Whole Person

Drawing from the Jesuit tradition, faculty and staff in Matteo Ricci College work to make each student as successful as possible. While education is about what you know, it is also about who you are, and Matteo Ricci faculty strive to help students grow in both realms. Learn about Matteo Ricci College’s mission.

High Expectations, High Performance

Professors set high expectations and students consistently rise to the challenge. The College boasts a 100% acceptance rate into law school, mid 90% placement into medical school, and equally impressive numbers in PhD and Masters programs. Learn more about Matteo Ricci students' accomplishments.
