100 Saint Anselm Drive, Manchester, NH 03102-1310
Saint Anselm is a Benedictine, Catholic, liberal arts college that offers access to an educational process that encourages students to lead lives that are both creative and generous. We challenge our students to engage in the fullest experience of a liberal arts education, to free themselves from the strictures of ignorance, illiteracy, and indecision and to dedicate themselves to an active and enthusiastic pursuit of truth. It is through an appreciation of several kinds of truth-scientific, technical, poetic, philosophical, and theological-that our students may learn to challenge resourcefully both personal and social problems.

School Notes:
- Saint Anselm College was founded in 1889 by the Benedictine monks of St. Mary's Abbey of Newark, New Jersey, in response to the invitation by Bishop Denis M. Bradley, the first bishop of Manchester, N.H. A six-year classical course, with curricula in philosophical and theological studies, was organized and opened to qualified students.We're proud to be preserving a tradition framed in academic excellence that has distinguished the Benedictine Order for more than 15 centuries.
- As a leading Catholic, liberal arts college, Saint Anselm is a place where learning, investigating, and discussing the ideas that shape the world, doesn't end once class is over. Our classes are small and are taught by experienced, engaged faculty who are dedicated to offering you a holistic, cutting edge undergraduate education.
- Saint Anselm's location provides easy reach to both urban living and outdoor pursuits. The college overlooks New Hampshire's largest city, Manchester: one hour from Boston, one hour from the seacoast, one hour from the White Mountains, and four hours from New York City and Montreal.
- Saint Anselm is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. We hold membership in the Association of American Colleges, American Council on Education, National Catholic Educational Association, National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. The College is on the approved list of the American Chemical Society and, for teacher training, the New Hampshire State Board of Education.
