Overview
Saint Joseph's College was founded in 1889 by the Congregation of Holy Cross in Rensselaer, Indiana, as a Catholic liberal arts institution emphasizing moral and intellectual formation. Over its history it built a reputation for small class sizes, personal attention from faculty, and strong programs in health sciences, education, and business. The college suspended in-person operations at its historic Rensselaer campus in 2017 due to financial difficulties, marking a significant loss for Catholic higher education in the Midwest.
