Saint Joseph's College of Maine is a private Catholic college in Standish, Maine, United States. It is the only Catholic college in Maine.
This small Catholic college in rural Maine offers a genuinely affordable path — median debt at graduation is just $19,576, which is well below the national average — and the tight-knit campus of under 1,000 students appeals to students who want personal attention over a big-university experience. The numbers tell a mixed story, though: a 69% graduation rate means roughly 3 in 10 students don't finish, and median earnings of $47,000 a decade out are modest, so it's worth thinking carefully about your intended career field before committing. Worth considering if you want small class sizes, a values-grounded environment, and manageable debt, but visit first and ask hard questions about student support — that retention rate suggests some students struggle to find their fit here.
