My time at st. Scholastic was an overall great experience. My cohort was small and learning was very personal. We became very invested in each other's success. My teachers were all very knowledgeable social workers. They taught with the same social worker heart. They were also very invested in our success.

My time at CSS was life-changing. The small class sizes really helped me succeed with professors who truly cared about my future goals. The activities, sports, and clubs on campus allowed me to meet a lot of different people and participate in activities that I hadn't tried before. I met lifelong friends while attending CSS and went on to graduate school with letters of recommendation written by my professors at CSS.

Going to this school has been a mostly good experience. The classes are small and you feel like the teachers know you and are able to help you learn. The campus is nice and very small, with tunnels to use during the winter. The biggest thing is that the campus is seperate from the city so it is hard to leave without a car. It is also fairly expensive.

Obtaining my bachelor of arts degree in biology from The College of St. Scholastica was a great experience. What stood out to me the most during my time there was how committed the professors were to their students success. My biology adviser and my biology research mentor were two great women who helped me have the success I did while attending the school.

I felt my professors and my departmental advisors stopped away nothing to ensure my success. They were supportive in every way. Their faith in me and the education they provided helped me be successful in my career. They offer not only the foundation from which I could succeed but the soft skills I needed too.

I enjoyed the Exercise Physiology program that Saint Scholastica offered. The professors kept the classes interesting and on task. I loved the labs associated with the program. The hands-on learning made the program feel less like the traditional classroom and more like what some people will be doing as their career choice. I liked how the major sets you up nicely to continue your education in earning a high degree if you desire to.

The College of St. Scholastica Rural Healthcare Administration MBA program, which is 100% online, has allowed myself as an incredibly busy mother of two, who works full time, to receive a nearly unmatched education. The skills and theories learned, not only have the Benedictine values instilled into their ethos, but also are directly applicable to the rural healthcare setting. As a member of the nursing administration team in a critical access hospital, these lessons, including direct application... Read More

I think this graduate program will directly relate to my job and the jobs that I'm looking to upgrade to in the future. The shortness of the program is what appealed to me the most.

The reputation of the graduate program will be extremely helpful when applying for jobs. The class size is small, so you can achieve the best learning experience. One con about going to a private college is the expense. However, majority of graduate schools are around the same tuition fees.

The Graduate Teaching Licensure Program at the College of St Scholastica is ideal for full time young professionals looking to change careers and advance specific education skills. The program is flexible with online course work during the week and 2 weekends a month on-campus seminars. I found the Program to be quality because most of the Professors have been in teaching or are still currently teaching in grade level skills therefore they bring real-life examples. One con is that you need to make... Read More

I am in the Graduate Teaching Licensure program and it is a great program for working adults. Classes are a blend of online and weekend classes. I am able to take classes while working until I start student teaching. I can finish the entire program and receive a teaching license in 18 months. It is the best option in the Twin Cities for a teaching license if you cannot quit work to go to school full time. The program works best if you are a self-starter and are not concerned about campus activities... Read More

St Scholastica offers a beautiful small campus that is based on the value of community. Everyone is very welcoming and the professors are always willing to meet with students to discuss course work or future career opportunities. Located in Duluth Minnesota, there are plenty of things to do day and night.

Cons are that it is an expensive graduate school because the school doesn't provide graduate scholarships like they do for undergraduates. I wish there would be more homework involved to understand and see real world application. Pros include a great environment with very helpful teachers who care about how you are doing in and outside of class. Professors really want you to apply your knowledge in class and feel confident about materials before leaving the program.

I feel the program offers a strong workload and challenges it's students. The faculty are very knowledgeable and helpful to the students. The coursework guidelines are explained well. The cons of the graduate program is that it is almost entirely online which at times can be challenging both in a good and bad way.

St. Scholastica has an excellent, competitive physical therapy program. The class size is small so the professors know you by name and care about you. The classes are challenging and require a lot of commitment, but the work is worth it.
