History
St. Catherine University (formerly the College of St. Catherine) was founded in St. Paul in 1905 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, under the leadership of Mother Seraphine Ireland. The University is named for St. Catherine of Alexandria, the fourth-century Egyptian lay philosopher who suffered martyrdom for her faith.

Saint Luc
Saint-Luc est une école qui prône l'ouverture d'esprit. Elle nous pousse toujours à faire mieux, a se dépasser, à se renouveler. Elle m'a apporté énormément de connaissances.
very satisfied
Attending the Summer School of the International Seminar on Macedonian Language, Literature, and Culture in the summer of 2023 was a very pleasant and enriching experience. I had the opportunity to learn Macedonian and immerse myself in Macedonian culture. The program was well-organized, providing a deep insight into the language and cultural heritage of Macedonia. Overall, it was a rewarding and memorable experience.
Good university that needs a lot of improvement
My university offers a solid foundation in engineering, and I appreciate the range of topics covered. However, I've noticed that some subjects tend to overlap, creating a bit of unnecessary repetition. Additionally, while a few professors truly excel, others seem less passionate about teaching, which can affect the quality of our learning experience. Practical, hands-on learning is quite limited, and I believe more of it would greatly enhance our understanding and engagement in the field.
