According to Pope St. John Paul II, “God made us for joy.” At Ave Maria, you’ll see the excitement that overflows as students discover the intersection between truth and beauty. Joy is found in Christ, and our students strive to encounter Him in our classes, residence halls, athletics, and most notably, in the sacraments.  

With an academically excellent and solidly Catholic education from Ave Maria University, our students are able to understand their chosen discipline and the world around them through the richness of the Catholic faith.
