Five Schools with One Vision: Education for the Whole of Life

The University of Mary’s five schools offer a wide range of affordable academic and pre-professional degree programs, from the bachelor’s and master’s levels to doctoral studies. As diverse as our offerings are, they are all distinguished by:

  • Robust, hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for career success.
  • Faculty who are experienced practitioners and leaders in their disciplines, wholly dedicated to mentoring students.
  • A foundation rooted in Benedictine values.
