Arrupe College, Jesuit School of Philosophy and Humanities, is an autonomous academic institution, owned and governed by the major superiors of the Society of Jesus (the˜Jesuits"™) in Africa.
The Society of Jesus is a religious order of priests and brothers within the Roman Catholic Church. The College is named after Father Pedro Arrupe, who was Superior General of the Jesuits from 1965 to 1983. The College was founded in 1994 with the initial aim of providing part of the training needed by young Jesuits on their way to effective Christian ministry, either as priests or as brothers.
It specialises, therefore, in the teaching and study of philosophy, but always from within the context of the other humanities, including especially theology and religious studies, and with a focus on contemporary Africa.
