OLES CAN. OLES WILL.
A liberal arts education doesn’t just prepare you for a job,
it prepares you for almost any job.
Oles bring an immense value to their communities and to their workplaces.
At St. Olaf, we don’t turn out typical college grads. We turn out Oles. Oles are the people companies want. Oles are the people the planet needs.

Discover St. Olaf
Oles don’t all look alike or think alike, but what they do share is an enthusiasm. An optimism. A work ethic driven by the knowledge that anything is possible, the answer to every problem is yes, that what’s broken needs fixing, what’s working can be improved. Oles think harder, dive deeper.
