Dedicated to individual learning, SJC prides itself on delivering academic excellence through the liberal arts and instilling in students the message of the Gospel for use in their personal lives and professional careers. The college’s nationally recognized Core Program challenges each student to examine his or her own values, as well as to welcome the ideas and opinions of others. Reaccredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 2002 and named as a “College that Builds Character” by The Templeton Guide, SJC has more than 70 major, minor, and pre-professional programs, each with several tailored concentrations to meet the interests of students. Its nationally-renowned Core Curriculum was featured in the March 2008 cover article of the esteemed lay-Catholic independent journal Commonweal. The college is also listed in The Princeton Review’s fourth annual “Best Midwestern Colleges” online publication, Barron’s Best Buys in College Education, and the fall 2007 edition of the Colleges of Distinction Guidebook. SJC also provides its students with the personal, one-on-one attention that is needed to build strong professional relationships. Faculty and staff employ an open-door policy and welcome students to stop in for a chat. Career development and alumni networking are often the results of such tightly-knit relationships, allowing many students to participate in internships as early as their sophomore years and acquire valuable future professional contacts. Historically, SJC boasts a job placement rate of 95 percent for students within a year after graduating. The city of Rensselaer offers such amenities as two movie theaters, an art gallery, a bowling alley, local and chain restaurants, and specialty shops, all within the confines of a safe and friendly atmosphere. Its quaint downtown area offers unique dining and shopping options, and the city itself is conveniently located off Interstate 65, within 45 minutes of Lafayette and Merrillville and approximately 90 minutes from Chicago and Indianapolis.

At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods (SMWC), we help you keep up with the pace of your life and give you the tools you need to unleash your potential. Academics: Small classes, one-on-one assistance from professors, internship and service learning experiences, and opportunities to study with students from multiple countries provide students with a first-rate academic experience. In fact, U.S. News & World Report and Princeton Review named SMWC one of the best colleges in the Midwest. Campus Life: With dozens of clubs and organizations, there’s something for everyone: competitive basketball, soccer, softball, golf and equestrian teams; performing arts; and special interest clubs. Why a Women’s College: Women’s college graduates really excel when compared to women at coeducational institutions. They’re more satisfied with their overall college experience, express higher levels of self-esteem and leadership, and are more likely to major in nontraditional fields. Affordable Private Education: SMWC is committed to making private higher education affordable. In fact, approximately 95% of campus-based undergraduate students at SMWC receive academic or need-based financial aid. In addition, the college has partnered with Ivy Tech Community College to provide Ivy Tech graduates with transfer grants that can be applied towards the cost of tuition for SMWC undergraduate campus and distance programs. “The Woods” Experience: Students say that as they drove down The Avenue, they fell in love with the towering oak trees, the stately buildings, and the vivid colors of nature. Schedule a visit and experience The Woods for yourself! SMWC, founded in 1840 by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and the Sisters of Providence, is committed to higher education in the liberal arts tradition. 21 http://www.saintjoe.edu http://www.smwc.edu http://www.smwc.edu http://www.saintjoe.edu
