St. Catherine’s Weekend College offers a baccalaureate completion program in nursing through collaboration with Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and Phillips Eye Institute. The program offers classes on weekday evenings, allowing students to meet professional and family obligations while earning their baccalaureate degree. The program classes are held either on the Children’s Minneapolis or Abbott campuses with some additional classes offered on the College of St. Catherine’s St. Paul campus.
