The University of Saint Katherine is an undergraduate and graduate university of liberal arts and sciences that focuses its integrative, interdisciplinary teaching in the core areas of Composition, English Language and Literature, American Government and History, Economics, Business, and the Sciences as part of general education and instruction in over 25 concentration-specific degree requirements programs. Outstanding teaching and research - with relevance to the practical world and Christian witness as guiding principles - is our primary purpose - Inquiry Seeking Wisdom. We aim to graduate creative and compassionate leaders. Academic programs encompass multiple degree-granting opportunities, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations, laboratories, and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries. We realize these aims in a singularly collegial, interdisciplinary atmosphere, while educating outstanding students to become creative members of society. All students complete a six-semester interdisciplinary core, one semester of college algebra, one semester of introductory statistics and critical problem solving, two semesters of science, one semester of Orthodox Christian theology and one semester of Bible studies. USK is independent, coeducational, not-for-profit and privately endowed. It is accredited by WASC and participates in state and federal student loan programs. The University admits students of all religious and faith backgrounds. All classes are taught by experienced faculty who have earned terminal degrees or posses substantial experience in their academic field.
