 
Welcome to Maryville University, one of the finest institutions of higher
learning in the Midwest. Here at Maryville you will be engaged in hands-on
learning guided by a unique array of scholar-practitioners whose primary
objective is to be mentors to your success.
I just recently joined the Maryville community as its tenth president and I
did so because Maryville, quite simply, gets it right. Maryville University
educates the whole student and prepares you for a life of achievement,
personal growth and community involvement. All of us here, from professors
and staff to administrators and your fellow students, are dedicated to your
education, spiritual and physical wellness and personal growth.
As you look at Maryville University, I urge you to ask questions of our
admissions team, faculty and staff members. What you will learn is that
Maryville is teaching classes and providing extracurricular activities that
have real-life implications for a successful career and personal
fulfillment. That’s what we call the “Maryville Difference.” We are
committed to providing all students with the highest level of
education—whether it’s in the classroom, a cultural or sporting event, or
through one of our many internship opportunities.
When you enroll at Maryville University, I believe you will experience this
difference firsthand. You will see for yourself why U.S.News & World Report
consistently lists Maryville as one of the highest ranked universities in
the Midwest.
Whether you are looking for a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree,
Maryville has the experience and professionalism to deliver what you expect
from a first-rate university. We offer programs for students coming out of
high school or for working adults juggling family and career. We do this in
a variety of formats and in small classes where professors know both your
name and your goals.
So, I hope you will continue to take a closer look and see why I believe we
are exactly what you are looking for in your university. Come for a visit
and experience the Maryville Difference. Then you’ll quickly learn what sets
us apart from other universities.
I wish you much success,
Mark Lombardi, Ph.D.
