Four college students sit around an outdoor table, studying and talking together. Two are looking at textbooks, while the others smile and engage in conversation. They appear relaxed and happy on a sunny day.

College of Saint Benedict (CSB)
Saint John’s University (SJU)

CSB and SJU offer a residential, Benedictine, liberal arts experience for women and men. Our students experiment, explore and excel, and our graduates are going places! Our campuses are big but our classes are small and at the end of the day, it’s our community that ties us together.
