About
The College of St. Joseph is located in Rutland, Vermont in the heart of the Green Mountains. Its campus is comprised of 117 acres of open and wooded land. Although it sits on the edge of the city’s limits, it is a comfortable one-mile walk to Rutland’s downtown.
The college was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1956 as a Catholic college with a distinctive mission. It now offers over 30 career-oriented programs leading to associate, bachelor, and master degrees in the fields of Arts & Sciences, Business, Criminal Justice, Education, and Psychology & Human Services.
The college has developed a reputation for its student-centered culture and the family-like environment on campus. These two characteristics enhance its distinctive approach to learning that places emphasis on opportunities for fieldwork, student leadership, and community service. Faculty are committed to the educational ideal of blending theory and practice so that students can learn while doing and develop knowledge and skills that relate to the professional workplace. This approach is validated by its high placement rates, the many alumni who have earned graduate degrees, and the number who have become leaders in their professions.
