The University of Saint Katherine doesn't have a traditional campus or a library. But it's picking up momentum as it heavily recruits student athletes.
Prospective students can find UC Santa Cruz difficult to ignore. It’s nestled among sweet-scented fir trees overlooking the Pacific and has academic programs known around the world.
The school, which markets itself as the only orthodox Christian university in the country, heavily recruits student athletes as a way of helping to build enrollment. The dominance of sports is reflected in USK’s employment roster. The school has 10 full-time coaches and seven full-time academic teachers. Roughly $1.2 million of the school’s $5.5 million budget goes to athletics.
“This is just fun,” said Eryn Leja, coach of the women’s volleyball team and assistant athletic director. Students walk through the halls during a passing period at The University of Saint Katherine on Nov. 14, 2022.
