Washington College of Distinction
ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's was named a Washington College of Distinction for 2024-25.
Why ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's?
Higher education for the common good
As the only Catholic Benedictine university west of the Rockies, the ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s way of life is grounded in both intellectual rigor and moral thought and action. Our community of students, faculty, and staff is not afraid to ask the big questions—about faith, reason, service, and community—for we are all on a shared journey toward lives of meaning and purpose.
Saints live with heart
We are united by our care for each other and the wider world. We pursue knowledge and meaningful work with passion. We support one another through our challenges, whatever they may be. And we live fully in, with, and of this world. At ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's, we think, act, pray, serve and live with heart.
For Every Saint
In May 2022, ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's launched the "For Every Saint: The Campaign for ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s Abbey and University," which will raise $100 million in critical funding to bring together "people, place and purpose" to serve and expand ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's educational mission.
