Saint Joseph’s College has been on an exciting and groundbreaking journey since its founding in 1889. There have been a lot of twists and turns along the way, but the College has always risen to the challenge. Rather than allowing the College to continue sliding down the path of diminishing enrollment, in Spring 2017 the Board voted to voluntarily suspend its accreditation, provide a teach-out for then-current students, secure the College’s debt, and begin anew. As of today, three of these objectives have been achieved; now the focus is on restoring Saint Joseph’s College to a model Catholic liberal-arts institution for the 21st century.
