Seven Reasons to Attend St. Katherine College
#1. Intellectual Engagement
Smaller classroom size allows opportunities for students to actively learn through informed discussion with experienced faculty. Our professors have an average of 15 years of teaching experience. The first and second year interdisciplinary curricula provide a strong foundation for curious students regardless of major field of study.
#2. Passionate Learning
Are you passionate about learning and believe that education is as much about who you are as what you know? SKC students are taught by using a well rounded curriculum that encompasses the whole person – mind, body and spirit – and grows their understanding of the core subjects of Composition, English Language and Literature, Foreign Language, U.S. Government and History, Sciences, Economics and Mathematics. Moreover, their creativity is nurtured through numerous opportunities for research and exploration in their chosen areas of interest.
#3. Tradition
SKC students value Tradition. Orthodox Christians founded the first university in the fifth century. Here students studied all of the arts and sciences along with theology. This rich history of higher education and research is our treasure.
#4. Community
SKC students value relationships. Looking to connect and make lifelong friends? SKC students believe in community. They understand the importance of healthy relationships to having a well rounded life. The College actively assists students with enrollment in further studies and obtaining employment.
#5. Service
SKC students value service. Both locally and globally. Service to each other and the community is at the heart of SKC. SKC students are encouraged in a life of service to others and understand that “as much as you do to the least of these you do to me.” (Matt 25:40)
#6. Relaxed City Life
San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its idyllic Mediterranean-like climate and 70 miles of coastline provides ample opportunity for outdoor activities. San Diego is the second largest city in California and is considered the safest metropolitan area in the state.
#7. Earn your Degree On Time
Many state college students find that it is taking 5 or more years to earn their undergraduate degrees because of school overcrowding and limited class schedules. This puts a strain on family and personal budgets, delays or prevents starting graduate or professional education, and prohibits a student from gaining meaningful employment.
