Set on a ridge overlooking Lake Superior, the Duluth campus is an idyllic combination of Minnesota's dramatic natural beauty and the modern conveniences of urban living. St. Scholastica was founded in Duluth in 1912 by a group of pioneering Benedictine Sisters who offered college courses to six young women. Today, more than 4,000 men and women study here each year.
Campus buildings include the Science Center, Burns Wellness Commons and the iconic Tower Hall, as well as a library, chapel, 500-seat auditorium, black-box theater, and on-campus dorms, suites and apartments. The Duluth campus also includes the St. Scholastica Monastery, home to the Benedictine Sisters, whose values guide the College today.
