For 150 years, we’ve made room for more people.
Maryville began as a private academy dedicated to young women at a time when educational opportunities for women were rare. But we didn’t stop there – we broke barriers. We designed degrees for working adults, pioneered online learning, and redefined what it means to make education accessible to all. Our unwavering commitment to service, inclusion, and innovation is the foundation of who we are and drives everything we do.
