Matteo Ricci College
Matteo Ricci College was founded as a laboratory for curricular innovation, and it retains that advantage to this day. Most of our classes are taught seminar style and all of our classes provide students with an interdisciplinary, experiential approach to learning. Steeped in the 450-year tradition of Jesuit and humanist pedagogy, Matteo Ricci College graduates learn to read, write, and think effectively, and to engage critically and creatively the great existential challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. Matteo Ricci College offers three degrees in the Humanities:
The degree in Leadership Studies prepares students to become reflective leaders and ethical human beings ready to serve the common good. Leadership entails discernment, that is, the process of knowing oneself, one’s capacities, and one’s limitations. It also involves familiarity with cultures different from one’s own. Students are placed in both local and international internships across the globe.
