Faculty Mentorship
At Mary, You’re Supported from Day One
The University of Mary’s faculty are distinguished in a wide variety of disciplines and by a range of professional experience. But they have one thing in common: they are committed to your success. At Mary, you won’t get lost in a large lecture class or graduate without forging meaningful relationships with faculty members. With our 11:1 student to faculty ratio, you’ll get to know your professors, and they’ll get to know you. That support and mentorship translates to alumni success and a national reputation for academic excellence, as evidenced by our top-ranked nursing program, our recognition as a College of Distinction, multiple accreditations by national organizations, and much more.
Faculty-Led Trips
Faculty-led trips, part of the university’s extensive Study Abroad Program, provides students with a unique opportunity to broaden their perspectives by being immersed in a different culture.
The 2-3 week summer trips are led by teams of Mary faculty; often, the faculty members will have previously lived in the country or have traveled there extensively as part of their academic research.
Faculty-led programs are open to all students, regardless of major, and offer course credits.
What I like most about the cybersecurity program at Mary is the professors. Not only do they know how to teach so you understand, but you can tell they love what they do, which makes learning all the better.
There are so many things to like about my program, including the care I receive from nursing faculty. Although I was not originally a nursing student, the faculty welcomed me with open arms. This broke down many of my hesitations upon entering the program. I remember the hard work that they each invested in me regarding my seemingly difficult major change. The nursing world can seem intimidating, but the professors quickly reminded me that nursing is a profession of care combined with science dedicated to service, which originally captivated me and drew me to the profession. I truly believe I am prepared for a lifetime of leadership in and out of the classroom.
