About

Founded in 1846 as the first Benedictine college in the United States, Saint Vincent College is a close-knit Catholic liberal arts institution renowned for rigorous pre-professional preparation in the natural sciences, pre-medicine, and business through the Alex G. McKenna School. Campus culture is deeply rooted in Benedictine values of hospitality, intellectual rigor, and community service, with student life centered around the historic Saint Vincent Archabbey and Basilica. Setting the college apart are its high-profile partnerships and local heritage, including serving as the longtime summer training camp home of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers and housing the Fred Rogers Institute, which preserves the legacy of the Latrobe native.

Wikipedia:Saint Vincent College is a private Benedictine college in Unity Township, Pennsylvania, United States, with a Latrobe post office address. Founded in 1846 by Boniface Wimmer, a monk from Bavaria, it is operated by the Benedictine monks of Saint Vincent Archabbey, the first Benedictine monastery in the United States.
