HELPING STUDENTS BE THE LIGHT WE NEED IN THIS WORLD. More one-on-one interaction helps you be the light!

Ambrose offers an education that you can’t get at larger, more impersonal, universities. We aren’t just about higher learning — we’re about higher purpose. We understand that wisdom and belonging are as vital as knowledge. So we offer a uniquely welcoming and nurturing Christian environment. As a result, graduates leave with more than just a degree and a funny-shaped hat. They leave with a better-shaped view of life. They leave believing in something bigger than themselves, and with the desire to spread kindness and contribute meaningfully. And that doesn’t just make them better job candidates. It makes them better people, partners, parents, friends, and citizens. Which all adds up to a better world.
