Saint Joseph’s College

Saint Joseph’s College has been a landmark in Jasper County since 1867 when the Catholic Diocese purchased the farm south of Rensselear. Since that time, Saint Joseph’s College has gone through many “evolutions,” and 2020 is another.

Saint Joseph’s College is now initiating a new beginning with the creations of the Saint Joseph’s University Center and the Saint Joseph’s Career College. These two closely related ventures will allow students to come to the Saint Joseph’s campus – regardless of what their career aspirations are.

The Career College will be offering non-degree industry training and industry-recognized certifications. The Career College will host training that will allow individuals to earn the needed certification for a new career, advance in their current career, or need to re-skill to stay current within their chosen field. The needs of the local communities will guide what industry training the Career College will offer – this will ensure students will learn the knowledge and skills that are locally in-demand.

The other part of Saint Joseph’s College will be the University Center.

The beginnings of the University Center will focus on sequences of classes which will result in a two-year associate degree from an “anchor institution.”

These “anchor institutions” will be colleges and universities that will be hosting classes on the Saint Joseph’s College campus.

The future of the Saint Joseph’s College University Center will include the opportunity for students to continue with their college aspirations of earning a bachelor’s degree by continuing to attend classes on Saint Joseph’s College campus. These junior-senior level college classes could be associated with either another higher education institution or be junior-senior programs developed by Saint Joseph’s College.

Saint Joseph’s College will continue to be a cornerstone of Jasper County, and as a new chapter in Saint Joseph’s College begins, they look forward to once again being a vibrant, integral and positive part of our community. • Business Management • Business Fast Track • Cybersecurity • Health Science • Next Level Jobs
