The JOSEPHITE tradition started in Bangalore with the opening of the St. Joseph’s European High School by the Paris Foreign Mission Fathers in 1858. In 1884 St. Joseph’s College was established. It has grown steadily and today has more than 6000 students enrolled at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate Courses in Arts, Science, Commerce, Computer and Management disciplines in its four independent Colleges namely,

• St. Joseph’s College (Arts & Science)
• St. Joseph’s College of Commerce
• St. Joseph’s Evening College
• St. Joseph’s College of Business Administration (SJCBA).

The Jesuit Fathers came into the picture in 1937 when the Paris Foreign Mission handed over all St. Joseph’s Institutions to them. These Institutions are now under the Management of the Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society^(R).
