Our Academics
Career-readiness is very important to us, and we will give you the hands-on experiences in labs, internships and other programming that is hard to find at larger universities.

Our Heritage
The sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery, who live, work and pray alongside our students and staff, founded our liberal arts university, fusing it with their Benedictine ideals of ministry, leadership and service. Today, the sisters are still active on our campus, and you will find the bonds with them to be one of the highlights of your college experience. Our alumni come back to campus all the time to visit with the sisters as if visiting with some of their oldest and best of friends.
A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE IS HERE AT MMU.
