University of Mary

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.
