Maryville University has nearly 11,000 students, with approximately 2,800 students taking courses on campus in our traditional undergraduate programs. We are home to students from all 50 states and over 47 countries. Maryville was founded in 1872 and is situated on 130 acres of rolling hills, wooded areas, creeks, two lakes and miles of walking trails. Maryville is just 22 miles from downtown St. Louis.

Maryville offers 90+ academic programs within our College of Arts & Sciences, College of Health Professions, School of Business, and School of Education. Our student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1.

Maryville’s focus on access and affordability drives our financial aid and scholarship programs. With over $53 million in financial aid distributed last year, 93% of our full-time students receive financial aid. Our scholarships available to freshmen and transfer students offer additional opportunities to help pay for college. We offer both automatic and competitive scholarships, ranging from $500 to full tuition, room and board - find out some more information here.

On the top floor of Gander Hall, you will find offices such as the Office of the President, Alumni Relations, and the School of Adult & Online Education.
