What is the size and scope of the student population at St. Kate’s today?
Our entire student body numbers more than 5,200. Another 1,300 people take a class or take advantage of one of our professional-development programs each year. Our total population of students varies in age from 16 to 70 and includes a mix of women and men in the associate and graduate programs. We resemble a small university (a word whose root means “collection of communities”) more than a college. Our traditional day baccalaureate program — the core of the College, serving women primarily between the ages of 18 and 22 — enrolled 2,030 students this year. Most selective, private liberal arts colleges with largely residential populations (Carleton, Grinnell and Macalester, to name a few) try to hold the size of their student bodies to around 2,000 students.
