Jesuit Education
The Directory contains information on Jesuit educational institutions throughout the world. We have followed the practice of previous editions of the Directory and used a broad definition of the term "Jesuit." Thus, you will find listed not only Jesuit apostolic works, properly so called, but also institutions which share in the Ignatian spirit, draw upon a common heritage and foster the mission of the Society of Jesus, whatever be their juridical ties to the Society, their structure of governance or their ownership.

Association of Jesuit Colleges and University (AJCU)
AJCU is a national voluntary organization whose mission is to serve its member institutions, the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities, and its associate members, the two theological centers, in the United States. Though each institution is separately chartered and is legally autonomous under its own board of trustees, the institutions are bonded together by a common heritage, vision and purpose.

Catholic Higher Education in Protestant America: The Jesuits and Harvard in the Age of the University by Kathleen Mahoney
In Catholic Higher Education in Protestant America, Kathleen Mahoney considers the challenges faced by Catholics as the age of the university opened. She describes how liberal Protestant educators such as Eliot linked the modern university with the cause of a Protestant America and how Catholic students and educators variously resisted, accommodated, or embraced Protestant-inspired educational reforms.
