Holy Cross College map

Holy Cross College is a four-year, co-educational, liberal arts institution founded in 1966 by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Holy Cross is Catholic by mission and open to all faiths. With a campus adjoining St. Mary’s College and the University of Notre Dame, Holy Cross College provides the best of both worlds — a close-knit, small college atmosphere with the resources and social opportunities of a large university.

Overview
With a 13:1 student/faculty ratio, students find a relationship-based educational program with personal attention from professors who take their success seriously. What sets Holy Cross apart as a liberal arts college is our experiential learning curriculum. Each student at Holy Cross shares four core experiences while earning their BA degree: a service learning experience, a global immersion, a professional internship, and a senior capstone presentation.

Rankings
According to the 2010 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), Holy Cross has posted some of the highest scores of any NSSE participating college or university in the US and Canada. The Survey measures key practices associated with student learning, persistence, and graduation.
