  • Holy Cross offers students a broad-based liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. Highly-ranked nationally by all widely regarded sources, Holy Cross holds itself to its own high standards of teaching, learning, and research. The College devotes itself exclusively to undergraduate education and promotes close ties between students and faculty. The College is dedicated to forming a community which supports the intellectual growth of all its members while offering them opportunities for spiritual and moral development. In a special way, the College must enable all who choose to do so to encounter the intellectual heritage of Catholicism, to form an active worshipping community, and to become engaged in the life and work of the contemporary church.

    • The campus is designed for learning. The hilltop setting provides inspiring views, the architecture and landscaping are inviting, and the facilities and technology are first rate. Holy Cross is located in Worcester, Massachusetts, a forward-looking city of 180,000 that has many resources, including 13 colleges and universities. With a tradition of academic excellence that dates to its founding in 1843, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England and has grown increasingly diverse in the last decade. Holy Cross has three performance theaters, two art galleries, a concert hall, ballroom, dance studio and a movie theater.
    • A Holy Cross education is an experience of discovery. Our approaches to learning encourage you to explore many fields of knowledge, immerse yourself in your main interests, develop your individual talents, and find your place in the world. Studying the liberal arts prepares you for all aspects of life. You learn to think critically and independently, communicate clearly, and become a problem solver – skills that are highly valued in any career. And you learn to appreciate all that life has to offer.
