Though retaining its rich Catholic heritage symbolized by the towering presence of St. Ignatius Church, USF has students of all religions. The Theology and Religious Studies department illustrates this same ecumenical diversity with a faculty including a Lutheran pastor and a rabbi. Each year USF's Summer Theology program brings to the campus renowned Christian Theologians.
Because of its innovative, ecumenical reputation, USF was selected by the Atonement Friars as the West Coast location for this prestigious annual lecture program.
