At St. Catherine University students enroll in one of three colleges: the College for Women, the College for Adults, or the Graduate College. They then pursue their majors or programs of study through three disciplined-based schools:

• Henrietta Schmoll School of Health Sciences
• School of Liberal Arts, Business, and Leadership
• School of Nursing

The schools, collectively, are home to more than 100 fields of study - many available in traditional, online and weekend/evening formats.

Henrietta Schmoll School of Health Sciences (HSSHS)

The Henrietta Schmoll School of Health Sciences is a recognized leader in preparing competent, compassionate, and principled healthcare and human services professionals.  It also engages clinical and community partners to influence health, health systems and health policy.

Highlighting interprofessional healthcare education in classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings, students work across traditional program boundaries to prepare for real-world work scenarios. 

The School offers programs at the associate, baccalaureate, and doctoral levels across a wide range of disciplines. These disciplines include dietetics, exercise science, holistic health, nutrition science, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant, radiation therapy, radiography, respiratory care, social work, and sonography. 

School of Liberal Arts, Business, and Leadership (LABL)

The St. Catherine University School of Liberal Arts, Business, and Leadership offers a comprehensive approach to the liberal arts, business, and leadership development. The School offers programs at the associate, baccalaureate, and graduate levels across a wide range of disciplines and learning experiences that prepare students for meaningful lives and successful careers. 

Home to a vibrant array of more than 45 majors and minors, LABL houses signature St. Kate’s offerings, including the Antonian Honors program, the core general education curriculum, a leadership minor, and the Katie Leadership Impact program. Across all programs, innovative and traditional teaching-learning practices foster the mental agility, cultural fluency, and understanding of power dynamics and systemic inequities across diverse identities. These practices equip students to critically analyze, explore, and assess available solutions through an equity lens, empowering them to take effective action in an increasingly complex global context. 

We welcome all students who seek to become career-ready professionals and leaders with both breadth and depth of study built on a foundation of social justice. Our model of learning is inspired by a legacy of women leaders and a commitment to student success. Our dedicated faculty bring deep disciplinary knowledge and industry experience to preparing each student to innovate and impact lives and careers. Our distinct learning formula deepens engagement with the greater community — both at work and in life.

School of Nursing

The St. Catherine University School of Nursing reflects a tradition of excellence in nursing education that began in 1900 with St. Mary’s Hospital Training School for Nurses on the Minneapolis campus. Today, we prepare baccalaureate, master’s, and doctorate nurses to lead and influence. We offer three undergraduate BSN programs (College for Women, College for Adults, and the RN-BSN program), three master’s programs (Nursing Education, Nursing Informatics, and the MSN - Entry Level), and three doctorate programs (Pediatric Nurse Practitioner - Primary Care, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, and DNP - Post-Master’s), as well as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner second-certificate program. 

Nursing needs leaders who engage with intention, act with justice, and serve with compassion. The School of Nursing at St. Catherine University educates students who are prepared to lead together in nursing, health care, and society now and into the future.
