STM is federated with the U of S. We are academically
integrated with the U of S. We have our own administration and we hire
our own faculty but all the work we do is connected with the larger
university. STM students are U of S students at the same time.
4 . How is STM different from the University of Saskatchewan
STM is a Catholic college that was founded by the Basilian Fathers. STM has its own administration, faculty,
and staff, but our academic programs are integrated with the U of S. We offer a small college experience within the larger Universty of Saskatchewan.

content of certain courses (I.E. Religious Studies or Catholic Studies) but you are not
required to hold any particular religious beliefs.
9 . Do STM classes count for U of S credit?
Yes!
10 . Why should I take an STM class?
Take STM classes because: the topic interests you, or the class size is smaller, or it fits into your schedule, or the professor is a good teacher, or for all of these reasons.
