Saint Vincent College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 59%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,331 per year.

Saint Vincent College is a private Catholic and Benedictine college in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, United States. Founded in 1846 by Boniface Wimmer, a monk from Bavaria, it is operated by the Benedictines of Saint Vincent Archabbey, the first Benedictine monastery in the United States.

This small Benedictine college in western Pennsylvania offers a genuinely tight-knit Catholic liberal arts experience at a manageable cost — $23,331/year net price and median debt of $23,250 are reasonable, and an 85% freshman retention rate suggests students who arrive tend to stick around. The 72% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, so it's worth asking admissions how they support students who struggle. Worth considering if you want a values-grounded, community-focused environment and are realistic that median earnings of $52,100 at the 10-year mark reflect a school whose graduates prioritize mission-driven fields over high-salary careers.
