Jesuits are known for their devotion to education as well as their investment portfolio, both of which are evident to all who visit the University of San Francisco (USF), one of 28 Jesuit Catholic colleges and universities in the US. The main USF campus sits on 55 acres near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The school, which was formed in 1855 as St. Ignatius Academy, enrolls more than 8,700 students. It operates six schools and colleges, including the schools of business and management, education, law, and nursing, and the colleges of arts and sciences and professional studies. In addition to its main campus, the university operates five satellite sites in Northern and Southern California.
