College of St. Joseph is a private, residential, liberal arts Catholic college. The College's president is Dr. Richard Lloyd. After years of educating their members within the walls of the motherhouse on Convent Avenue in Rutland, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rutland purchased the campus of Rutland Junior College to establish a training center for their young novices and continue their education in the sisters’ normal school. In 1956, a core group of courageous women led by Sister Mary Matthew McDevitt, the college’s first president, formed St. Joseph’s Teacher’s College. To foster the growth of the fledgling college she formed an affiliation with The Catholic University of America.
