We've been honored as a military-friendly school by GI Jobs magazine, we're a partner in the Yellow Ribbon program, and we're a member of the Service members Opportunity Colleges Consortium. Advanced Military Education magazine has ranked St. Scholastica number one for the Minnesota/Wisconsin region, and number 34 out of tens of thousands of schools nationwide.

A Message from Larry Goodwin, President

Military veterans are an under-represented group in American higher education. I am glad that The College of St. Scholastica is doing its best to right that wrong, through programs and services including the Yellow Ribbon campaign and the Veterans Resource Center.

As a veteran myself, I know that making the transition from soldier to student can be difficult. At the same time, I know that vets do well in college. Certainly, our campus has benefitted greatly from the maturity, discipline and life wisdom that veterans bring to our learning community.

Best of luck to you in your own educational plans.

Larry Goodwin
President
The College of St. Scholastica
