The two consolidated as the University of Detroit Mercy in 1990. Detroit Mercy offers more than 100 academic degrees and programs through seven schools and colleges. The current enrollment is approximately 5,000 students. Dr. Antoine M. Garibaldi serves as the 25th president of the University.

We are founded on the 470-year-old Jesuit educational goal of forming men for others for the Greater Glory of God. Our graduates are leaders in their communities. They strive to be competent, religious, loving, open to growth, and committed to justice. When you meet our graduates, you will find that they are leaders: in the business world, in the arts, in religious life, in politics, in the sciences and technology, in sports, and especially in the community. Our school and Jesuit education aim to prepare our young men to be leaders-- to engage the world, not just to observe it. As you encounter our students and graduates, you see that they are well rounded and confident as they strive for the Magis, excellence in all things. This is part of the Jesuit goal of "Cura personals," the formation of the whole person: mind, spirit, and body. A U of D Jesuit graduate has learned to feel compassion for the victims of injustice and has a sense of urgency to implement societal changes that will help such victims protect their rights and human dignity. He is involved in public service and feels an obligation as a Christian to participate in the building of a humane, civic, and ecclesial community in a way that respects the pluralism of that community. We offer this kind of education because we want our students to do well and make a difference in their world. When the first Jesuit schools were founded 470 years ago, their goal was to do God's work and work with others for the good of all in the Kingdom of God's service. Jesuit education helps students realize that talents are gifts to be developed, not for self-satisfaction or self-gain, but rather, with God's help, for the good of the entire human family. "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam," for the greater glory of God. University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy is committed to providing the highest quality of Jesuit college preparatory education to young men in southeast Michigan. In collaboration with parents, U of D Jesuit will challenge its students to go beyond academic excellence, be reflective, be committed to the service of personal faith, and the promotion of justice: to be men for others. Since 1877, U of D Jesuit has earned a reputation for academic excellence and a commitment to faith and service. In part, this reputation encourages students from the entire Metro Detroit area to attend 'The High.' Attracting students from St. Clair Shores and Grosse Pointe to the East, Dearborn and Grosse Ile to the South, Plymouth and Northville to the West, Rochester Hills and Bloomfield Hills to the North, the city of Detroit, and all points in between, is only one aspect that makes U of D Jesuit unique. More than 940 students in grades seven through twelve currently attend You of D Jesuit. In 2018, our 168 seniors were accepted into four-year universities, community colleges, or military service academies such as the University of Michigan, Colgate, Boston University, United States Military Academy, Air Force Academy, Boston College, Michigan State, and University of Southern California. Also, they were awarded more than $23 million in scholarships and grants. Since 2000, U of D Jesuit has had more National Merit and National Achievement Semi-Finalists than any other Catholic school in the state. In the beautiful Jesuit tradition, U of D Jesuit is not solely interested in "the numbers" - we seek to enroll a diverse student body of young men who are academically ambitious and who are open to the idea of growing and maturing into "Men for Others." Our goal is to form students who are open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. U of D Jesuit is proudly accredited by the Jesuit Schools Network (JSN) and North Central Association, an accrediting division of AdvancED. JSN initiates programs and provides services that enable its member schools to sustain their Ignatian vision and Jesuit mission of educational excellence in forming young men and women of competence, conscience, and compassion. Our accreditation by the North Central Association demonstrates our dedication to continuous improvement in all that we do. View full school
