Saint Anselm College

Saint Anselm College was founded in 1889, when the Order of Saint Benedict in New Hampshire was established. 

Saint Anselm is a Catholic, Benedictine College providing all its students a distinctive liberal arts education that incorporates opportunities for professional and career preparation. It does so in a learning community that encourages the lifelong pursuit of the truth and fosters intellectual, moral and spiritual growth to sustain and enrich its graduates' personal lives, work, and engagement within local, national, and global communities.

There’s no reason to wait until graduate school to do real research. At Saint Anselm, we consider research an integral part of an undergraduate education, so no matter your major, you’ll find opportunities to study a subject in-depth.

Saint Anselm students are studying the development of cancer, compiling data on the Civil War, investigating media’s portrayal of women in politics. They’re pushing toward real breakthroughs. They’re even getting their names published in academic journals and presenting at conferences around the country.

A Saint Anselm education prepares you for whatever comes next, whether it’s graduate school or a full-time job. Making the most of every on-campus, out-of-the-classroom opportunity helps you get there while internships, part-time jobs, and research experience give you a competitive edge.

We're committed to helping you find these opportunities. In fact, we have a whole office, the Career Development Center, dedicated to assisting students in developing a plan for success.
