St. Olaf doesn't produce ordinary college grads. It turns out Oles (Oh-Lees). St. Olaf's 3,000 students come from 95 countries, nearly every state, and a variety of religious and non-religious backgrounds. Oles choose from more than 85 majors, concentrations, and pre-professional tracks within the intense liberal arts academic program. The long-standing emphasis on global engagement broadens perspectives, and two-thirds of Oles study abroad. Oles aren't necessarily religious, but the college's religious tradition encourages deep self-reflection. Over 200 organizations flourish within an intensely residential setting. The vibrant Ole community accepts, supports, and encourages, generating lifelong friendships and invaluable connections. St. Olaf's beautiful 300-acre campus is located in Northfield, Minnesota, approximately 40 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul

Students Say
Founded in 1874, St. Olaf College is a liberal arts college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that views the entire undergraduate experience as an education. The college establishes a set of goals (called "STOGoals") that all students must achieve regardless of major, including self-development, civic and global engagement, and critical thinking and inquiry, and students have numerous opportunities to fulfill these goals through coursework and co-curricular activities. The Piper Center for Vocation and Career "constantly has new opportunities available for students in any field of study," science classes offer students the chance "to dip their toes in research," and nearly two-thirds of students participate in the "second to none" study abroad programs. There are endless resources in support of students, and "if you need something, St. Olaf will do everything in their power to accommodate."
Professors at St. Olaf are universally beloved, helping with "everything from a mistake on a homework assignment, a course concept that is confusing, writing a thesis for a paper, planning course schedules, and advising students on how to reach their long-term goals." The best classes "tend to include a lot of discussion and focus on the process of learning rather than the graded outcome"; indeed, academic innovation thrives at St. Olaf, with courses featuring "conversation dinners for language classes, exploratory field trips, exhibition tours for art courses, guest speakers, and interactive seminars." Professors also organize "panels of people to share their expertise and perspectives (such as a panel of local farmers when studying environmental science)." Academics are "challenging with enough resources that they're manageable," and the school "gets students ready to apply to jobs, internships, and graduate school all over the course of four years."

Students Say
Students say that one of St. Olaf’s greatest strengths is its Piper Center for Vocation and Career. By maintaining “strategic relationships with employers, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and donors,” the center can “maximize opportunities for students and alumni.” These relationships yield hundreds of internships exclusively available to St. Olaf students, as well as a number of internship cohort programs that allow students to work with institutions such as the Mayo Clinic or a Norwegian biotech company during their breaks. Furthermore, students say that the “vocational retreats, alumni luncheons, [and] one-on-one coaching…makes sure that all the hard work put into classes pays off.” In recent years, the center has helped students by arranging thousands of appointments with coaches and peer advisors. According to PayScale.com, 53 percent of St. Olaf alums report that they derive a high level of meaning from their careers, and graduates earn a median starting salary of $64,200.

From The School
Lifelong connections are formed on the Hill. For Oles, college means community: it's the difference between being part of a neighborhood and being lost in a crowd. Here, students come together to work, study, and play. Here, you'll find people who share your passions, and people who ignite new ones. Here, you'll find people who will be lifelong friends.
An Ole's experience is a wider world experience.
- #1 among baccalaureate colleges for 11 years in a row in the number of students who study abroad
- 123 established domestic or international off-campus study programs offered
- 73% of the Class of 2019 studied off campus
- 41 countries in which St. Olaf has active programs
The Glenn and Myretta Taylor Center for Equity and Inclusion aims to foster an inclusive environment across the intersections of race and identity that students bring to St. Olaf by providing resources and programs that support student success, engagement, leadership and intercultural understanding.
Oles don't just land jobs, they find vocations. The Piper Center for Vocation and Career will help you identify your interests and abilities, and shape your education accordingly.
- Within six months after graduation, 97% of Oles are employed, in full-time service projects, or in graduate or professional school.
- Ranked 11th overall among the nation's 239 baccalaureate colleges in the number of graduates who go on to earn doctoral degrees.
Explore the things you love. Almost everyone is involved in something, and more than a few Oles are involved in one thing too many. That's normal when you put talented and motivated people together. We have 50+ Academic Organizations, 15+ Athletic Clubs, 15+ Multicultural Organizations, 10+ Club Sports, 35+ Volunteer Network Organizations. Strike out in new directions, try new things, or find a new niche, this is a great community in which to do that. Exploration and experimentation are exciting. You never know where they'll lead.

Students Say
St. Olaf College is entirely welcome to all students and faiths: "the chapel and college pastors, rabbi, [and] Muslim chaplain are very inclusive." Students feel that they are all united by "an interest and desire to learn" that often manifests itself "in deep discussions in and out of the classroom." Moreover, because the school is interdisciplinary, you're likely to get exposure to a wider variety of perspectives, as "it is not uncommon to be in a philosophy class full of biology and music majors." On the whole, Oles are "generally kind and cheerful, and with an unmatched respect for others and their property."

Students Say
Though St. Olaf is only located 45 minutes from the bustling Twin Cities, 95 percent of students live on the beautiful, alcohol-free campus, a "marvel" that leads to "a lot of school programming with relatively high attendance." This is especially true of extracurriculars: students describe being "very involved at high levels" in things like music ensembles and sports. Academics are equally taken seriously, such that "studying is also a form of hanging out for many people." That said, students do find time for relaxing, especially on weekends, which are filled with seasonal activities like "going to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard ten minutes from campus," and a main student pastime is simply "going to dinner and seeing all of their friends and then going to each other's rooms afterwards." Oles are an outdoorsy bunch, and students "have access to hundreds of acres of forest and prairie on campus to run, bike, and cross-country ski," and "the natural lands and hiking trails are often used."
