MAJORS AND MINORSThis is where things get interesting.It’s all about connections: between the scientific and the philosophical; the practical and the purely aesthetic; culture and economics. Connections that will let you look at old ideas with a fresh perspective and gain true insight through a culture of reflection. It gets you thinking— and talking—about where you fit in and what impact you will make in the world. In our Core Curriculum, you’ll expand your thinking beyond the boundaries of your major. It’s where disciplines such as science, art, literature, history, and theology come together to raise new questions, spark fresh debate, and inspire innovative thinking. And it takes objective listening, critical thinking, and an ability to effectively communicate your views.

There’s one in every classroom.In your four years here, your professors are going to be a big part of your life. So it’s a good thing that they’re truly extraordinary—as individuals, as teachers, and as experts in their fields. We don’t have any teaching assistants, only full faculty members, dedicated to your success. So if you’re looking for guidance, subject matter expertise, inspiration, or opportunities to explore further and learn more, just ask. That’s what they’re here for. Our classes are more personal because they’re small, with individual attention and easy access to everything. Raise your voice in the classroom, because it’s your time to be heard. We’re listening.

Looking for even more academic rigor? Strengthen your critical thinking skills and pursue faculty-led research projects through our Honors Program. www.anselm.edu/honors

“When I see students take what they learn in the classroom out into their jobs and communities, it’s exciting to me as an academic. It’s their “Aha!” moment of learning, and a rewarding moment for me.” That’s what makes teaching sociology so enjoyable for Tauna Sisco. And her passion is felt by students in her classes, whether it’s intro to sociology, sociological theory, political sociology, or social statistics. “She makes it all real and relevant,” they say. It’s even more real when they become partners on their prof’s research. They interview adults at homeless shelters and family-in-transition homes to gather demographic and other information. That kind of community-based, experiential learning is an important part of the academic experience for most Saint Anselm students. And it shows them how to take their education to the next level.

“Being a sociologist makes you more perceptive about what’s going on. It gives you a better lens,” she says. “That’s usually a blessing, but it can be a curse because you never shut it off.”

Many of Professor Sisco’s students go on to work with homeless and at-risk populations or enroll in graduate studies that give them the tools to address complex social problems. The professor loves to hear from them after they graduate. (Anselmians stay in touch.)

WITH MORE THAN 65 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS, you’ll be able to explore every interest, fuel your competitive drive, test your leadership potential, and just have fun. If the club you want doesn’t exist yet, go ahead and start it. You’ll have a chance to be a part of something bigger, have experiences you never dreamed you’d have, and meet people who are just as into this stuff as you are.

LEAVE YOUR MARK By starting a new club we haven’t thought of yet!

A few things you’ll do as an Anselmian:

Chapel Art CenterThe Alva de Mars Megan Chapel Art Center is the former home of our chapel, and it has the stunning stained glass windows and hand-painted vaulted ceiling to show for it. Now it’s the home of our permanent art collection and hosts varied exhibitions throughout the year.

Dana Center for the Humanities and the ArtsThis is where the liberal arts meet the performing arts. Each year, we host classical theatre, contemporary dance, concerts, comedy, and films. During the afternoon before a show, performers meet with groups of interested students. Our stage also is the venue for the Anselmian Abbey Players, our student theatre group. And, if your alter-ego is Stephen Spielberg or J.J. Abrams, you can get involved here as a lighting technician, sound board operator, or set designer.

How do you go from rugby player to class seminar leader in under 10 minutes?When you have as many interests as Aliesha, you get very good at scheduling. She often starts her day at 6:00 a.m., lifting weights at the fitness center with the other members of the rugby club.

“My team is just like my family,” she says. “I have a lot of fun with them in my free time.”

Free time is scarce, though. She is serious about academics and spends lots of time studying on her own or with groups of friends in her dorm or the library. Her favorite class so far is health psychology with Professor Finn.

Aliesha jumped right into campus activities as soon as she arrived for her freshman year. She went to the coast of Maine on a Campus Ministry retreat, attended concerts planned by her fellow students, and hunted Easter eggs on the quad.

Through the Meelia Center for Community Engagement, she volunteered at events like a dodgeball tournament fund-raiser, and the holiday fair. She even took a local child Christmas shopping. Along with her friends, she often goes to Mass at the Abbey Church. She likes the quiet time. Because things can get moving pretty fast around here.

I learned the answers to questions I never even knew I had.

AN OPEN DOOR POLICY. You’ll notice this Anselmian tradition before you enter a single building: students have a tendency to hold doors open for one another. Sure, it sounds like simple courtesy, but at Saint Anselm, it’s very real. Maybe it’s our Benedictine tradition of hospitality, or our we’re-all- in-this-together spirit, but it’s a small thing that says big things about our character. Take it with you when you graduate. Your education is guaranteed to open doors.

ROOM (and never bored)

You might be new here, but you won’t be alone. More than 90 percent of students live on campus. You could live in a traditional residence hall, suite, townhouse, or apartment. It’s where you’ll live, sleep, and study, but it’s also where you’ll get together with your friends for barbecues, movies, contests, and other events. (Did we mention that Ben & Jerry’s delivers?)

Service helped me find people of similar passions who’ve inspired me to be a better person.

Riley Duggan STUDENT PROFILE:

She’s delivered furniture to Sudanese refugees and walked 130 miles to raise money for local charities. Riley Duggan found more than a major at Saint Anselm College. She found her passion for service. She credits her involvement on campus to the college’s thriving culture of giving back.

Through our volunteer center, she’s organized dozens of events including the Valentine’s Day Dance for special needs children and the holiday fair—all benefiting the Manchester community (and also considered favorite traditions by her fellow Anselmians).

On service trips through campus ministry, her helping hands have stacked wood, served food, and assisted in homeless shelters all over the country. She’s volunteered at local agencies as part of her classes and on her own. Through those service-learning experiences, she’s practiced her social work skills and made connections between course work and real life.

To this peace and justice studies major, volunteering is a way of life. And she wouldn’t have her Saint Anselm experience any other way.

SERVICE-LEARNINGAt some colleges, vacation means beaches and ski trails. It can mean that here too. But many Anselmians prefer to spend their off-campus time helping others. Last year, we volunteered more than 50,926 hours (!).

At Saint Anselm, we believe in service-learning. Professors include volunteering as part of their courses. It enhances resumes and graduate school applications, because it demonstrates practical experience in the field and an ethical concern for the community. But, more importantly, it helps others.

Service and Solidarity Missions, offered by campus ministry, take students wherever people are in need: inner-city neighborhoods, hurricane-stricken coasts, and a Native American reservation, for example. You’ll want to join one. Maybe even lead one. And probably go on another one.

The Monks of Saint AnselmThe Benedictine monks have been an integral part of the Saint Anselm experience since the beginning. Scholars in their own right, several of them teach classes in their academic disciplines. You’ll also see them in administrative roles, or saying mass in the Abbey Church. You’re even likely to see them running on our cross country trails, working out in the Fitness Center, cheering for the Hawks at a basketball game, or joining a trivia team on a Tuesday night in the Pub.

When you arrive on campus, it might seem unusual to see men in black robes. But by the time you graduate, you won’t be able to imagine college life without them.

Campus Ministry Just as the Abbey Church is the spiritual center of campus, the Office of Campus Ministry is the spiritual center of student life. Campus Ministry serves everyone on campus, no matter what their religious beliefs. Whether you need information, inspiration, or just a listening ear, this is the place to find it. You can explore different forms of prayer and styles of worship, and deepen your understanding of spirituality in your life.

HALLMARKS OF A BENEDICTINE EDUCATIONThe monastic community is guided by the principles set forth by Saint Benedict in the 6th century. These principles form the foundation of life in the monastery, and they have a profound influence on the Saint Anselm experience:

Love of Christ and neighborA life marked by liturgy, lectio and mindfulnessCommitment to the daily life of this place, its heritage, and traditionFaithfulness to a way of life within the communityA commitment to listening and consequent actionA way toward learning and freedomKnowledge of self in relation to God, others and creationResponsible use of creation, culture and the artsOpenness to othersCall to serve the common good

Our Catholic Benedictine tradition of faith, reason, and community engagement is the foundation of life at Saint Anselm. And it comes to life every day through the community of Benedictine monks who live at Saint Anselm Abbey.

But you’ll also see it in the lives of the students who work together to create an environment where hard work pays off, where new paths are discovered, and where time-honored traditions are a part of life (and new traditions are created all the time).

The experience you have at Saint Anselm will give you the skills and insight that employers are looking for.

You’ll go into the field for actual research. You’ll go into the workforce for real career experience. And when you’re ready to take that next step into a career or graduate school, you will find the help you need. Wherever your Saint Anselm experience takes you, you’ll use your creativity and flexibility to solve problems, communicate ideas, work collaboratively, and inspire others. As you start to embark upon your life’s work, you’ll find that you’ve already begun.

YOU’LL GRADUATE. AND THEN WHAT?This is the best part—in a lot of ways—because it could pretty much be anything. Maybe you’ll work at a top financial services firm, or join a lab in a nationally recognized research hospital, like some of our recent graduates.

If you plan to continue your studies, you’ll find that your Saint Anselm degree can lead to some other equally impressive degrees. Anselmians are enrolled in master’s and Ph.D. programs at places such as Boston College, Princeton, Yale, Georgetown Law, University of Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania, Tufts University School of Medicine, and Peking University (Beijing, China).

Your liberal arts education gives you a solid foundation for any career and the ability to adapt to changes in technology and in the workplace. Your specialized studies give you the relevant knowledge and latest thinking in your academic discipline. But to get a competitive edge, you need real job experience. An internship is not required here, but there’s no better way to explore an industry, see the inner workings of the workplace, and begin to build your professional network.

What’s the proper way to accept a business card in Beijing?

“When a Chinese business associate hands you a business card, it is important to accept it using two hands and put it in an important place— never in your back pocket or the bottom of your backpack,” says Meagan.

Practical take-aways like this were among the things Meagan learned in her economics and business internship at a Chinese industrial engi-neering consulting firm. But the most important things she gained are a wider perspective, increased self-confidence, and comfort with challenging, new experiences.

It was one of several internship opportunities in which Meagan has participated during her four years at Saint Anselm. In addition to her experience in consulting, she spent a summer interning with the Small Business Administration in Washington D.C. On campus, Meagan is an ambassador at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

“It’s exciting to meet political candidates and diplomats and all the other visitors we have there. It doesn’t matter what your major is, it’s a fascinating part of Saint Anselm College.”

At Saint Anselm’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics, we hold the nation’s first presidential primary debates, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness (and participate in) history in the making. CNN and The Daily Show usually stop by our campus. Plus Anderson Cooper, Diane Sawyer, and George Stephanopoulos. Also, the next president of the United States, and you. During the Institute’s nationally televised primary debates, you can work as a courier, guide, or media assistant. You might be able to go backstage with the candidates, interview beltway insiders, and make media connections that will lead to opportunities later. And that’s undebatably cool.

FACE EVERY CHALLENGE, OVERCOME EVERY OBSTACLE, AND DEFY EVERY EXPECTATION

WE BRING A SPIRIT OF COMPETITION TO EVERYTHING WE DO. Every victory is hard fought and won, and every setback makes us stronger and better prepared for the next challenge. We don’t back down. We never give up. On the ice or in the classroom. On the football field or in the research lab. On the golf course or in a philosophy course.

SOME OF US ARE FAST. SOME ARE STRONG. AND SOME OF US ARE JUST PLAIN LOUD.Each of us plays different sports, but we’re all on the same team. On our campus, whenever any Saint Anselm Hawk hits the field (or the ice, the court or the course), it’s with a crowd full of Anselmians cheering them on.

In the last couple of years, our athletes have earned All-Conference, All-Region, Rookie of the Year, and potential All-American recognition. We continue to field more NCAA Division II competitive teams every season. Perfect, because next season’s the one when you’ll be here.

Jake StokesSTUDENT PROFILE:

Lacrosse player Jake Stokes can attest that as a student-athlete at Saint Anselm everyone from his teammates to his teachers to the monks have his back. Playing a varsity sport can be a challenge. It means early practices and late games. It means playing in the rain (or snow) and balancing classes and campus activities. But Jake admits that because of this tight-knit community, his experience so far has been nothing less than, well, epic.

“My experience as a student-athlete has been awesome. My team is my second family.”

And Jake’s activities aren’t limited to the lacrosse field. He’s a representative on the student-athlete advisory committee volunteering at campus events and voicing his opinion on NCAA changes. He’s also an orientation leader, welcoming first-year students to campus.

“I understand the importance of making the transition for incoming freshmen as easy as possible. My OL’s made me feel welcomed and comfortable; I want to do the same.”

Jake tries to give back some of the same support he’s received. One-hundred-percent a team player, lucky for us, he’s on Team Saint Anselm.

What we look forEach student has a unique background and we want to put your academic

record into the proper context. The following factors are the primary focus of

our consideration:

• STRENGTH OF CURRICULUM: Rigor of secondary program and the grades

earned (minimum of 16 academic units typically required, including four years

of English; three years each of a laboratory science, and math; two years each

of social studies and a single foreign language). Most students applying to the

college have taken a college preparatory curriculum including honors, AP, and

IB courses. We look at your transcript within the context of your high school,

knowing that all schools offer different academic programs.

• CUMULATIVE GPA

• EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: Saint Anselm College prides itself on

having a very active student body. It is important to us that candidates for

admission are academically talented and also involved in their school and/or

community.

• LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: We require a letter of recommendation

from a teacher and a college counselor. Though not required, you may also

submit one additional reference from an athletic coach, scout leader, community

service coordinator, or work supervisor.

• PERSONAL STATEMENT (ESSAY): This is your opportunity to tell us

about yourself.

• STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES (IF SUBMITTED): No student is admitted or

denied acceptance to Saint Anselm College based solely on standardized test

scores. The use of “score cut-offs” is not practiced at Saint Anselm College, nor

are scores used in isolation in evaluating a candidate for admission. If you feel

your test scores will benefit the review of your application you may submit them.

Please note that test scores are a requirement if you are applying for the nursing

program.

• Through grants, scholarships, loans, and work study you may receive, the real cost of attending Saint Anselm is much less than you think. For those receiving need-based aid in 2013-2014, the average net price was $22,700.
