College of Saint Benedict

1. 1

   The short answer

   The College of Saint Benedict is a women’s college in the United States, and it suits students who want an undergraduate liberal arts setting with access to a shared curriculum across two closely related campuses. It is a better fit for applicants who value a broad choice of study areas and do not mind checking details for a specific program across the CSBSJU partnership.

   What you can study

   Together with Saint John’s University, the College of Saint Benedict offers over 70 areas of study to undergraduate students, plus graduate programs in nursing and theology. Students at the two institutions share a curriculum and can use resources across both campuses, so the academic experience is built around that partnership rather than a single standalone campus catalogue.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the official CSBSJU website and confirm the current admissions process for the specific programme they want. Because the institutions share a curriculum, it is also important to check which campus hosts the programme, what documents are required, and whether any additional steps apply for women’s undergraduate study or for graduate nursing and theology.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee range; confirm the current tuition and other charges with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on housing, food, transport, and personal spending in the local area, so check the current cost of living before you apply.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so confirm that with the admissions office before applying. Also check visa steps, entry requirements, accommodation options, and whether the programme you want is offered through the College of Saint Benedict or through the CSBSJU shared curriculum.

   How it compares

   Among the 2,515 universities in the United States, the College of Saint Benedict stands out as a women’s college within a two-campus CSBSJU arrangement rather than as a single, separate university. That makes it different from many U.S. institutions because its study options and student experience are tied to a shared academic structure and to the broader set of programmes available across both campuses.
