Launched ten years ago in Ypsilanti, Michigan as Ave Maria College, the institution was envisioned as a comprehensive liberal arts University off ering baccalaureate and graduate degrees in which teaching and research were major foci, with all of its activities refl ecting a joyful fi delity to the Magisterium of the Church. Since its founding, the University has increased in size, expanded its scope of programs and services, moved its location to Southwest Florida, incorporated into its structure a branch campus in Central America, and, even at this young age, has developed into one of the country’s best known Catholic universities. The University is characterized by its distinctive campus designed in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as its distinguished and high quality faculty and staff personnel. The University also features a well-qualifi ed student body composed of students from across the nation and the globe, a distinctive curriculum grounded in the Core Curriculum, and a robust student life program that responds to the spiritual, physical, co-curricular, and leadership-development needs of the student body. As you examine this publication, I know that you will discover these characteristics as they are refl ected in its content and descriptions of the University’s programs and services. As a Catholic higher educational institution guided and directed by its Board of Trustees, there is no question that in all things the University will honor and be loyal and adhere to the Magisterium of the Church and its Catholic Mission in the provision of all services and programs. As noted in the Mission Statement, the University takes its mission from the apostolic constitution, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, and will continue to “promote the dialogue between faith and reason,” and recognize “the importance of creating and maintaining an environment in which faith informs the life of the community and takes expression in all its programs.” It is in this vein that the University strives to enroll the best students it can recruit, to be educated by the best faculty it can employ, in order to provide the best preparation possible for the challenges of this world and the next. As the academic mission celebrates its tenth year and the University celebrates its sixth year in Florida, it looks forward to the challenges and opportunities inherent in the implementation of its mission in service to the Catholic Church. To this end, the University expresses its thanks and gratitude to those faculty, staff , students, and supporters who have so faithfully contributed to the University’s success. At the same time, I invite prospective students to explore the educational and spiritual opportunities off ered by the University, challenge current students to take full advantage of one of the most dynamic curricula available today, and invite the continuing cooperation and assistance from our loyal constituents and other committ ed Catholics to support this educational enterprise as it strives to fulfi ll its vision. Sincerely, Thomas S. Monaghan Chancellor 5 Table of Contents Academic Calendar 2009-2010 6 I.

Introduction and General Information The University is a place of concourse, whither students come from every quarter for every kind of knowledge. ... It is a place where inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verifi ed and perfected, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge. —John Henry Cardinal Newman, The Idea of a University Ave Maria University Mission Statement Founded in fi delity to Christ and His Church in response to the call of Vatican II for greater lay witness in contemporary society, Ave Maria University exists to further teaching, research, and learning at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the abiding tradition of Catholic thought in both national and international sett ings. The University takes as its mission the sponsorship of a liberal arts education curriculum dedicated, as articulated in the apostolic constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, to the advancement of human culture, the promotion of dialogue between faith and reason, the formation of men and women in the intellectual and moral virtues of the Catholic faith, and to the development of professional and pre-professional programs in response to local and societal needs. As an institution committ ed to Catholic principles, the University recognizes the importance of creating and maintaining an environment in which faith informs the life of the community and takes expression in all its programs. Catholic Identity and History Ave Maria University is a Catholic liberal arts-based institution of higher education devoted to the education of the whole person, a dynamic process that engages students in both the pursuit of academic excellence and a deep exploration of Catholic faith and culture. The essential mission of the University is the development of a Christ-centered scholar prepared for lifelong learning, professional career, or pursuit of further graduate education. In 1998, Ave Maria Institute was founded as a two-year institute of Catholic higher education with the encouragement and support of Bishop Carl F.
