St. Mike's Description

With its small, closely-knit community, Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont epitomizes a small New England college.

As a Catholic school, St. Michael’s also embodies the Catholic ideals of service and social justice.

Academics are, therefore, taught from an ethical and moral perspective. Whether it’s Art, Environmental Studies, Gender Studies, Psychology or Religion, students enrolled in one of Saint Michael’s more than 25 undergraduate programs are asked to examine their studies in the context of these larger questions.

These notions of ethics and compassionate service are not just confined to the classroom. Many students also engage in community service and volunteer work. Students also engage in campus ministry as well as other student life activities.

Since almot all of St. Michael’s students live on campus, it is easy to get to know and participate with others in everything that St. Michael’s has to offer.

Admission to Saint Michael’s is not simply based on grades and standardized test scores. Students must also exhibit a commitment to service, social justice and spiritual growth.

Financial aid is available to those who qualify, and can be used to help cover tuition costs.
