Welcome

The College of Saint Benedict is a special place for women.  The Benedictine values of hospitality, community and stewardship informed the vision of our founding mothers, the Sisters of Saint Benedict, and they shape our work yet today.  We have the good fortune to be beneficiaries of a Catholic, Benedictine wisdom tradition that spans 1500 years and continues to thrive today in our community of remarkable women. 

As the highest ranked Catholic liberal arts college for women in the country, we are committed to providing our students with experiences that transcend the classroom. Structured and delivered dynamically, the liberal arts offer the intellectual, social, cultural and spiritual tools that women must have to be truly global citizens. We strive to foster opportunities for them to become leaders and to live full, rich lives which are an expression of their tremendous talent, faith and creativity.

At the College of Saint Benedict we are proud to provide women the very best residential liberal arts education in the Catholic, Benedictine tradition.
