St. Mary's University, a Catholic and Marianist liberal arts institution, was founded in 1852 and long has been committed to academic excellence, service and civic engagement efforts of the highest integrity, all of which comprise the heart of the University's Mission.

In recent years St. Mary's has experienced a wealth of significant recognitions and aesthetic changes on campus, and I invite you to learn more about St. Mary's and discover the University's historical legacy of student success.
