Visit the University of Mary

Explore your home away from home and see what it’s like to be part of the Mary community by visiting our beautiful campus — nestled in the hills overlooking the Missouri River — in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Check out our virtual tour for a preview of what to expect during your campus visit.

Our campus is best showcased when experienced first-hand. You’ll notice world-class faculty mentoring students, how we come together as a campus community, and people who are the epitome of “North Dakota Nice.” Sign up for a personal visit today to feel the unique warmth of welcome that you’ll only find at Mary, or consider one of our Visit Day Events to experience campus alongside other future Marauders.

While on campus, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Tour campus with a personal guide. Enjoy a walking tour of our beautiful campus. (approx. 1 hour)

  • Meet with an admissions representative—and enjoy lunch on us! Sit down with an admissions representative to discuss the admissions process, explore scholarship opportunities, and get your questions answered. (approx. 1 hour)

  • Explore your academic interests with a faculty member. Enjoy a one-on-one conversation about your academic goals and opportunities available in your chosen field. (approx. 30 minutes)

You can also personalize your visit with these optional activities:

  • Sit in on a class.
  • Attend Mass. View Mass times.
  • Meet with the fine arts department to explore opportunities in art, music, and drama.
  • Speak with a coach about Marauders Athletics.

We have started construction on our brand-new Marauders Athletics Complex! While we wait in excitement for the first phase of this state-of-the-art facility to be complete, all vehicles will access the University of Mary through the South Entrance. Once on campus, visitors may park in the dedicated visitor spaces in front of the Benedictine Center, or they may park in any of the spaces in the lots located east of the McDowell Activity Center and east of the Gary Tharaldson School of Business. Learn more about this new era for Marauder scholar-athletes and fans.

If you are flying into Bismarck, the Bismarck Airport (BIS) has rental car stations available near the luggage claim, as well as shuttle service to several area hotels. There are also taxi, Lyft, Uber, and bus options available to travelers. See full details at www.bismarckairport.com, under the Parking menu along the top of the screen.

To help make your visit to campus easier, the University of Mary has negotiated special rates at hotels in town for when traditional undergraduate students make a formal campus visit.
