At Mary, You’re Supported from Day One
The University of Mary’s faculty are distinguished in a wide variety of disciplines and by a range of professional experience. But they have one thing in common: they are committed to your success. At Mary, you won’t get lost in a large lecture class or graduate without forging meaningful relationships with faculty members. With our 11:1 student to faculty ratio, you’ll get to know your professors, and they’ll get to know you. That support and mentorship translates to alumni success and a national reputation for academic excellence, as evidenced by our top-ranked nursing program, our recognition as a College of Distinction, multiple accreditations by national organizations, and much more.
Faculty-Led Trips
Faculty-led trips, part of the university’s extensive Study Abroad Program, provides students with a unique opportunity to broaden their perspectives by being immersed in a different culture.

The 2-3 week summer trips are led by teams of Mary faculty; often, the faculty members will have previously lived in the country or have traveled there extensively as part of their academic research.
Faculty-led programs are open to all students, regardless of major, and offer course credits.
