Make it Mean More

Purpose-Driven Education

Classroom life at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University is rigorous and rewarding. … But academics are just the beginning. An education here means more than a major. It’s a purpose-driven journey to discover who you are, what you value and where your life of meaning lies. With mentorship, hands-on learning and a community of intentional support, you’ll find the path on your True North Journey.
