Academic excellence
A strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences will serve you well no matter what career you choose. In addition to a solid background in the academic disci-pline you choose, you will gain skills crucial to future success: the ability to think independently, approach challenges creatively, and commu-nicate effectively.
Dedicated faculty
Our professors are the heart and soul of the academic experience. They’re here because they love to teach. Saint Anselm classes are small and there are no teaching assistants—so your pro-fessors know who you are and what your goals are. They are ready to chal-lenge you, inspire you, and guide you.
Experience that matters
To compete for jobs in a tight econo-my, you need experiences beyond the classroom. At Saint Anselm, practical learning experiences are limitless. Completing an internship, serving on student government, collaborating on a professor’s research, and studying abroad are a few of the ways you can enrich your education and enhance your ability to succeed in graduate school and begin your career.
Lives of purpose
Many of our incoming students al-ready have some volunteer experi-ence. At Saint Anselm College, their volunteer impulse can flourish. The Princeton Review and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching both commended the College for its commitment to pro-viding service and service learning opportunities, from teaching English to new Americans to working with at-risk teens.
Political promise
Tomorrow’s leaders should have as much access as possible to today’s leaders. At Saint Anselm, every stu-dent can have that access, whether they major in Politics, Biology, or Nursing. Because New Hampshire holds the nation’s first primary, the College is a must-stop on the cam-paign trail and often hosts nationally televised debates. It’s not unusual to meet political figures and world leaders right on campus. In fact, 10 presidents have visited Saint Anselm College in the past 50 years.
