College of St Benedict/St Johns University Overview

The College of Saint Benedict (CSB), a women's college, and Saint John's University (SJU), a men's college, are private liberal arts colleges respectively located in St. Joseph and Collegeville, Minnesota, US; near St. Cloud. Under CSB/SJU's coordinate relationship, students at the two colleges have a shared curriculum, and access to the resources of both campuses. CSB/SJU is home to the Saint John's Bible. Saint John's University was founded by the monks of Saint John's Abbey. In addition to its undergraduate offerings, SJU also includes Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary, a graduat...e school that confers Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees and also prepares seminarians for the priesthood. Minnesota Public Radio began on January 22, 1967, when KSJR signed on from the campus of Saint John's University. The station's Director of Broadcasting was SJU alum William H. Kling. SJU has produced its own coarse-grained bread, Johnnie Bread, since 1856, and used the proceeds to fund projects such as the Abbey Church. The College of St. Benedict is an exclusively undergraduate four-year institution. The College opened in 1913, with six students enrolled, and grew out of St. Benedict's Academy, which was founded by Saint Benedicts Monastery in 1889. The Benedictine community incorporated CSB in 1961. More
