College is an investment. You go to get an education, meet new people, expand your horizons, and — maybe most important — come out with a job. But most schools stop there. Once you get that entry-level job, their work is done, right?

Wrong. College should prepare you for not only a job, but a career. And not just any career, but one that you love and are passionate about. That’s what St. Olaf College guarantees its graduating students.

Located in Northfield, Minnesota, St. Olaf is the difference between finding a job and loving a job. Our liberal arts education develops students’ skills across departments, so no matter their major, St. Olaf graduates can write and speak well, can problem-solve, and can face uncertainty and challenges head-on — the qualities that employers are looking for. And from day one, students have access to 5,000+ internships, research, and experiential learning opportunities along with an expansive alumni network and one-on-one career coaching.

We also help students find success beyond a job. St. Olaf students get curious, talk to people, and try stuff. They seek out real-world experiences that give them new skills and perspectives. They discover their strengths so they can prepare for whatever comes their way.
