Seniors Go to College Program

St. Catherine University offers senior citizens (age 55 or older) the opportunity to continue learning by taking academic courses along with our undergraduate students. Senior citizens are welcome to audit a wide variety of weekday courses on a space-available basis.

Senior citizens participate in classroom discussions without writing papers or taking exams. No college credit is earned, and courses taken do not count toward completion of degree or certificate programs.

What classes can I take?

The list of classes available each semester varies and is available several weeks before the start of each semester. Guidelines are as follows:
  • Two seats are available in each class.
  • You can take up to two classes.
  • Acceptance into the class is subject to space availability and the instructor's permission.
  • Course descriptions are listed in our Undergraduate Catalog.
  • Classes follow the weekday academic calendar.
