The university averages an enrollment of about 5,000 students annually.[4] It focuses on recruiting and enrolling minority students and non-traditional aged students. St. Catherine's Weekend College—now College for Adults[6]—was the second such program in the nation and the first in the Upper Midwest.[7] St. Kate's was also the first private college in the nation to launch an effort to attract, welcome, and retain Hmong students, making it home to one of the largest populations of Hmong scholars in the nation.[8]
