School Overview
While located three and a half miles apart, the students of Saint John’s University (SJU) for men, and The College of Saint Benedict (CSB), for women, share basically the same academic program and attend the same classes at both campus locations. The two institutions are essentially the same, in that they are owned and operated by the same organization.
SJU and CSB are located on 3,200 scenic acres of forests, prairies, and lakes, stretching from Collegeville to St. Joseph, Minnesota. Together, about 4,000 students attend SJU and CSB, which are staffed by about 350, mostly full-time, permanent professors.
The university offers over 200 undergraduate courses and enrolls approximately 250 students from over50 countries. CSB/SJU is ranked by The Institution of International Education among the top baccalaureate institutions in America and the institution is well known for the large number of its students who participate in study abroad programs.
The Hill Museum and Manuscript Library of St. John’s University holds a collection of rare religious sculptures, paintings, prints and artifacts. More importantly, it is home to the original Saint John’s bible which was the first hand-scribed bible in over 500 years. The university is also home to St. John’s University School of Theology Seminary, a graduate school which confers Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees as well as preparing seminarians for the priesthood.
On the campus of The College of Saint Benedict resides the Benedicta Arts Center (BAC) – a performing arts center which has commissioned the works of Diavolo and Merce Cunningham Dance Company. The BAC also presents three performances each year by the Minnesota Orchestra.
