College of Saint Benedict
The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John’s University (SJU) share a partnership of two top colleges – combining the abundant opportunities of a larger university with the small classes and personal attention of an exceptional liberal arts college. The 3,000 undergraduate students attend classes and participate in activities together, and students from both colleges share academic, athletic and dining facilities on both campuses. CSB and SJU offer a deeply engaging, highly residential, educational experience set on 3,300 acres of central Minnesota woods, lakes and prairies – just an hour from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Half of CSB and SJU students study abroad, consistently ranking the colleges in the top ten nationally for the number of students completing a semester-long international experience. The intentional career development and strong alum network also help CSB and SJU rank #1 and #2 in Minnesota for getting a job.
