“We are thrilled to continue our online programs expansion. Maryville University offers increased options to determined students whose life situation may not permit a traditional campus or classroom experience,” said President Mark Lombardi, Ph.D. “New, specialized programs, including data science, will position students to capitalize on growing career fields, while liberal arts staples such as English and history will strengthen the quality of the students’ education.”

The new online programs build on nearly 150 years of academic excellence at Maryville and a tradition of innovation that adapts to meet the changing needs of students. Nationally ranked Maryville University continues to grow impressively, reporting a 16 percent overall increase in enrollment this year and educating students from 50 states and 60 countries.
