The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John’s University (SJU) share a one-of-a-kind partnership that began over 60 years ago and is stronger and more connected today than ever. When you enroll at CSB or SJU, you become part of a close-knit community that fosters friendships and contacts for a lifetime.

Together, we offer the opportunities, course selection and extensive curriculum of a large university while retaining the small classes and personal attention you’d expect from a top liberal arts college.
