Maryville University of Saint Louis is an
independent, comprehensive, community-oriented University founded
in 1872 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart. It is committed to
the education of the whole person through programs designed to
meet the needs of traditional and non-traditional students offered
in day, evening and weekend formats. Primarily an undergraduate
teaching university, Maryville also offers select, high quality
graduate programs in professional fields where there is evidence
both of need and of corresponding institutional strength. The
liberal arts and sciences are recognized as the foundation of all
academic programs, including those leading to professional
degrees. True to its heritage, Maryville is resolutely committed
to being a university where excellence is preeminent in all
endeavors, and where the Judeo-Christian tradition of the
university is honored in symbol and in substance.
