A high-quality, affordable experience that will change your life

Mount Marty is an academically excellent Catholic, Benedictine university in South Dakota. Our average institutional aid package last year was more than $24,000 per student per year, meaning the cost of tuition is often less than attending public institutions. And, an average student to faculty to ratio of 15:1, you'll find opportunities for hands-on experiences like internships, research, and travel. As a student here, you will also participate in the Benedictine Leadership Institute, where you will take class trips to South Dakota's Black Hills and to Estes Park, Colorado to learn in community about the Rule of Benedict and to find your purpose in this world by asking questions like, "Who am I?" and "How can I make a difference with my education?"
