During every step of your experience at the University of Mary, we’ll work with you to find your purpose, live your passion, and make a positive impact in your community.

COMMUNITY
Our alumni and students, whether in-person or online, create our thriving university community. At the University of Mary, faculty know our students by name and are available for mentorship. Advisors are here to ensure you are on the right track to graduation and many additional services are available, like tutoring and counseling.
SERVICE
Together, we can meet the needs of others. Our students, along with faculty, work to serve the common good through servant leadership. This development of leadership qualities empowers students to work courageously and effectively – showing competence in your career while also compassionately serving the needs of others.
“Our work is to help our students—whether they are 18 or 42—to live fully, to live well, so that they are not just existing, but really living; not just surviving, but thriving. And that is a whole different thing, it’s an endeavor which is very distinct from what most colleges in our day set out to do. We offer an education for the whole of life, and that’s the difference.”
Monsignor James P. Shea,
President of University of Mary
