Celebrating St. Catherine University

Founded in 1905, St. Catherine University offers the broadest range of academic programs and degrees among Minnesota’s private colleges and universities. Our integration of the liberal arts and professional education — and our emphasis on preparing people to be ethical leaders — ensures that students develop the intellectual flexibility and practical ingenuity critical to success in any field.

We offer 56 majors, 51 minors and nine pre-professional programs on our vibrant, scenic campuses in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Plus, our partnership with neighboring colleges and universities through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities gives St. Kate’s students 36 additional majors from which to choose.

A dynamic university for women and men with an innovative college for women at its heart, St. Catherine educates all students to lead and influence — to make a difference in their communities, their families, their homes and houses of worship, their workplaces and our world.

With deep and abiding roots in the Catholic tradition and the heritage and spirit of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph, we foster an open, welcoming environment for students of all religions and beliefs. Here, whatever their cultural heritage or social background, students feel at home and are valued members of a community committed to social justice and change.
