Imagine a place. . .
where you can realize your full potential among people who are invested in the education of women; a place where you can freely express yourself with the support of your peers. That’s St. Catherine University—the largest private women's university in the nation. Here, you’ll be able to claim an education in which the talents, aspirations, and contributions of women are not only valued but acknowledged as central to the world’s future. Thriving within the campus community are a free-flowing exchange of ideas, perspectives, and life stories as well as fieldwork, internships, study abroad opportunities, and collaborative projects.
Find your inner leader
We offer valuable job connections and career advice through our Career Development Center and annual Career Opportunities Fair, the largest among private colleges in Minnesota. St. Kate’s graduates go on to become CEOs, senators, congresswomen, judges, teachers, scientists, doctors, nurses, librarians, writers, social workers, and more. Nearly 93% of St. Kate’s students are working full-time or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation. Employers say our graduates are strong critical thinkers, persuasive communicators, and leaders in their careers.
Join a dynamic campus
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet founded St. Catherine University more than 100 years ago—and our focus on integrating the liberal arts and professional education within the Catholic intellectual tradition, emphasizing scholarly inquiry and social justice teaching, remains strong. St. Kate's students know how to think critically about our world and how they can have a positive impact on it by learning about social justice issues and gaining leadership skills that allow them to have lives and professions filled with meaning.
St. Kate’s is where natural beauty meets accessibility. Just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Minneapolis–St. Paul, our campus is nestled in St. Paul’s vibrant, walkable Highland Park neighborhood.
