The University of Mary is a private, Christian, Catholic, Benedictine university that welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds. Our work is to help students like you to live fully, to live well, so that you are not just existing, but thriving. With nearly 60 undergrad programs — from engineering and Catholic studies to history and health care, including our tuition-free Nursing Academy—we offer an education for a full and rewarding life. You’ll strengthen your faith and find your community with an authentic, Catholic education, rooted in affordability and tradition.
I believe the values we uphold at the University of Mary resonate seamlessly while pursuing a degree in nursing. My favorite value is service. If you are called to be a nurse, you are called to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need.”
At Mary, you’ll find a community that will inspire you and help you thrive. We are a Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine community with a rich sacramental life, including daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, vocation-based residence halls, Catholic student organizations, worldwide mission trips and pilgrimages, a campus in the heart of Rome, and much, much more. Our University Ministry team has also worked hand-in-hand for more than a decade with FOCUS — the Fellowship of Catholic University Students — as they reach out to our students with the Gospel, leading Bible studies, one-on-one discipleship, and more.
With one of the most extensive Catholic Studies programs in the nation, a robust and integrated liberal arts base, and a stream of great Catholic guest speakers, the Catholic intellectual tradition is the cornerstone of your education formation at the University of Mary. Our low student-to-faculty ratio will allow you to build relationships with your professors and peers in classes that are more interactive, individualized, and effective. You’re not just a number at Mary.
You can have an affordable private school education. At Mary, 99% of incoming first-year undergraduate students receive scholarships, and Catholic high school graduates receive free room and board.
We have a year-round campus, making it possible for you to graduate in less time with less debt. Earn your bachelor’s degree in around two-and-a-half years, and your master’s in four.
