| Profile |
| Sophia University was established by the Society of Jesus, a Catholic order with a five-century-long history of promoting education.The philosophy of the first Jesuits still flourishes on the campuses of Sophia and is evident in the students' passionate attempts to understand different cultures, in the ideals of service and living in harmony with others,and most of all in the emphasis on an education that develops each student's indivdual character.Sophia is a unique institution where the ideals of Christian humanism form the acknowledged basis of teaching and research, a philosophy that the university is determined to hand down to future generations. |
