The University of Saint Katherine (USK) was a private Eastern Orthodox college in San Marcos, California. Founded in 2011 as Saint Katherine College, USK taught liberal arts and sciences in more than 25 fields of study. It changed its name to final namesake in November 2016, when it added graduate studies. The institution announced its closure in April 2024, filing for bankruptcy following financial shortfalls. The winddown of operations was expected to be completed by July 31, 2024.
