Five Schools with One Vision: Education for the Whole of Life
The University of Mary’s five schools offer a wide range of affordable academic and pre-professional degree programs, from the bachelor’s and master’s levels to doctoral studies. As diverse as our offerings are, they are all distinguished by:
- Robust, hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for career success.
- Faculty who are experienced practitioners and leaders in their disciplines, wholly dedicated to mentoring students.
- A foundation rooted in Benedictine values.
Gary Tharaldson School of Business
Our bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs prepare students to be successful professionals and ethical servant leaders.
Liffrig Family School of Education & Behavioral Sciences
We believe students who choose teaching and behavioral sciences professions are answering a calling, not just pursuing a degree.

Hamm School of Engineering
Created in collaboration with more than 35 top engineering companies, we meet the nation’s growing need for highly skilled, culturally educated engineers.
