Learn a trade,
earn a degree,
and graduate without crippling debt
The College of St. Joseph the Worker forms students into effective and committed members of their communities by teaching them the Catholic intellectual tradition while training them in skilled and dignified labor. We teach our students to think, but also to pray, to love, and to build.
The Word became flesh and picked up a hammer
Christ, who reveals humanity to itself, shows that the humble worker is not merely respectable but is the very archetype of humanity.
Our trade instructors include master craftsmen and successful small business owners with both a deep understanding and a rich love of the Liberal Arts. The theology of work pervades our classes, in which we teach how to work morally and with dignity.
Liberal Arts as they should be
Our curriculum places the liberal arts firmly within the Catholic intellectual tradition—everything from metaphysics to economics is taught as ordered toward the three pillars of the lay vocation: work, family, and the temporal order.
Students earn a Catholic Studies degree from top-tier professors with degrees from Oxford, Notre Dame, St. Louis University, and more.
Fundamentally Catholic
It’s not only that there is a tabernacle nearby—our curriculum, formation, and even our business model is radically Catholic from top to bottom.
Redefining “Integrated”
Many Catholic schools integrate the mind and the soul. We integrate the body as well.
Student-centric
Our model puts students and their education first. By eliminating unnecessary staff and bureaucracies, students save money and get to focus on learning.
Let’s start building the future together.
