Seattle University

      private, coeducational institution of higher education in Seattle, Washington, U.S. It is affiliated with the Jesuit order of the Roman Catholic church. It offers about 50 undergraduate degree programs and about 20 graduate degree programs; professional degrees are also available. Seattle University comprises eight academic units: the College of Arts and Sciences, Albers School of Business and Economics, Matteo Ricci College (a program that integrates high school and university studies), and schools of education, law, nursing, science and engineering, and theology and ministry. In addition, the Institute of Public Service provides a master's degree program. The school provides the opportunity to study abroad in about 15 countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Seattle University is one of the largest independent universities in the Northwest, with an approximate enrollment of 6,000 students.

      The school was founded in 1891 as the Parish and School of the Immaculate Conception, a parish school for boys that opened in 1894. High-school level instruction began in 1898, and the school became Seattle College the same year. Bachelor of arts degrees were first awarded in 1909. Because of World War I, instruction was suspended from 1918 until 1922. Women first matriculated in 1933 and first graduated in 1936. The school was elevated to university status in 1948. A professional degree program in education was established in the mid 1930s, and a doctorate program in education was added in 1976. Seattle University is a pioneer in creating academic programs, including an addiction studies program (1973), a graduate program in software engineering (1987), an undergraduate program in environmental engineering (1990), and an executive master's degree program in not-for-profit leadership (1995). Basketball player Elgin Baylor (Baylor, Elgin) was a Seattle University alumnus.
