Saint Michael’s College – USA
Saint Michael’s College (St. Mikes or Saint Michael’s) is a private, Roman Catholic, liberal arts college in Colchester, Vermont. Saint Michael’s was founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund. Saint Michael’s College grants Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in over 30 majors to their 1,600 undergraduate students. Housing availability is guaranteed for all four years although about 10% of students, primarily upperclassmen, live off campus.
In 1889, priests from the Society of Saint Edmund fled to the United States after widespread anticlericism seized France. In 1904, they opened Saint Michael’s Institute with an initial investment of $5,000. Thirty-four students aged 10 to 22 enrolled, with a tuition and board fee of $105. Slowly, the school discontinued its high school program. Gradually, the school transitioned from an academy to a traditional residential college. In 1939, graduate programs were offered for the first time.
