A Rich Academic Tradition

At the center of the educational experience at Saint Anselm is our academic program. The liberal arts education offered at the college seeks to help you develop into a precise and critical thinker, articulate and clear communicator, and an active and compassionate citizen. This Benedictine college is the heir to centuries of intellectual investigation and passes on to every student who comes here the rich tradition of Benedictine education. One of the hallmarks of the Benedictine order is its ability to adapt to changing circumstances while at the same time remaining faithful to its mission and identity.

The same is true for the educational enterprise at Saint Anselm. Our curriculum exists to address the eternal and profound questions that have always challenged an active and engaged intellect. By studying art, science, literature, philosophy, theology, the humanities, and a number of other disciplines our faculty and students continue to examine the most important issues surrounding the human condition. But the curriculum is evolving, adapting, and always seeking new ways to address those fundamental questions. Saint Anselm College is, above all, a community of talented students and faculty engaged in the active and enthusiastic pursuit of truth.
