Student Services Designed to Support the Whole Person

As a Marianist university, we educate the whole person — spirit, mind and body. From academic services such as tutoring and peer coaching to wellness services like counseling and campus recreation, St. Mary’s University offers a well-rounded college experience for all of our students. Our highest priority is ensuring our students have what they need to succeed.
