Catholic studies at Mary is much more than a rigorous academic program. You’ll interact with faculty and students in and out of the classroom and experience a full range of co-curricular and extracurricular activities. The year begins with a Catholic studies immersion experience for our new students, providing an introduction to the program within the natural beauty and culture of western North Dakota.

Over four semesters in the Catholic Studies Tutorial, you’ll meet weekly in small groups of no more than ten students to integrate Catholic studies into your broader academic and personal life. Central to Catholic studies life outside the classroom is our regular Convivium Mass and Dinner, as well as events by the fire at the Catholic Studies House near campus.

You can earn your Catholic studies bachelor’s in 2.6 years or complete your bachelor’s and a  in four years through Mary’s innovative Year-Round Campus program. 

At the University of Mary Rome campus, you can live and study abroad while learning about Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine heritage firsthand. We particularly encourage sophomores and students in the Catholic studies program to participate in this opportunity. Qualified students can spend either a semester or five weeks of coursework and educational travel in Italy and other countries as well.

In this innovative partnership between the University of Mary and Arizona State University (ASU), you can study for a semester at ASU, while enrolling in Catholic studies courses taught by University of Mary faculty on the ASU campus.

Mary College at ASU is an opportunity for Mary students with a missionary heart to take the Catholic life out into the world.
