According to Pope St. John Paul II, “God made us for joy.” At Ave Maria University, you’ll see the enthusiasm that overflows as students discover the intersection between truth and beauty. We know joy is found in Christ, and we strive to encounter Him in our classes, residence halls, athletics, and most notably, in the sacraments.
We’re educating the next generation of saints: people prepared to use their exceptional formation and God-given passion to transform the world around them.
