Jesuit colleges tend to be highly respected in part because Jesuits themselves are so well educated. The training process to become a Jesuit is very long, and after they become a full member of the order, they often continue their studies. Many of them end up with an impressive list of graduate degrees, often in fields having nothing to do with religion. And they often attend top universities, Catholic or otherwise. It is also not uncommon for American Jesuits to have studied at excellent universities in foreign countries, and to speak several languages.
