A Tradition of Excellence

The University of Saint Mary is a recognized force for academic excellence in both graduate and undergraduate education—and that’s not just locally, but at the national level, too.

For nearly 100 years, we have prepared students for some of today’s most in-demand employment opportunities (especially health care careers), helping each one maximize earning potential, while expanding expertise in their ever-growing field.

USM is repeatedly named a “Best Midwestern College”* by the Princeton Review every year since 2005. This incredible distinction is based on meeting lofty standards of academic excellence and on feedback from students, parents, educators, and Princeton Review staff.

 

Private Doesn't Mean Expensive

USM may be more affordable for you than Kansas' two major public universities (based on scholarships) according to the Department of Education College Scorecard.
