More than ever, colleges must ask: what is our role in preparing young people for the future of work and for building a society of shared responsibility, values and justice? At Saint Vincent College, faculty, students and staff learn to walk the walk, but never alone. You learn that only when we can lift up human dignity can we move the world forward.

Saint Vincent College is an educational community rooted in the tradition of the Catholic faith, the heritage of Benedictine monasticism, and the love of values inherent in the liberal approach to life and learning. Its mission is to provide quality undergraduate and graduate education for men and women to enable them to integrate their professional aims with the broader purposes of human life. The programs, activities, and encounters that make up student life at Saint Vincent College encourage the intellectual gifts, professional aptitudes and personal aspirations of students to mature harmoniously.

Quite Old, Never Out of Touch

The Rule of St. Benedict — a timeless 1,500-year-old book — reminds us that personal success finds meaning only when we come together to build a stronger and more inclusive society.
 

• Hospitality: As Benedictines, we define hospitality as having the right approach to how we treat one another- as simple as checking in on a classmate or as transformative as rethinking long-held assumptions.
• Work: Saint Vincent faculty see value in delivering an education that asks students to perform at their best. Bearcats distinguish themselves each time they pass a test, master a skill and expand their views to see a new perspective.
• Renewal: College is a time to share between students, faculty, alumni and friends. We gather (for Mass in the Basilica, hikes in the mountains, weekend trips to the city) to celebrate art, beauty and love in our daily life.
