This new and evolving collegiate institution was to o er baccalaureate and graduate degrees in a broad spectrum of disciplines, feature pre-professional and professional specializations, focus on teaching and research, and faithfully serve the Magisterium of the Church. Today, Ave Maria University features small classes, is academically rigorous, and provides students with the tools they need to become critical thinkers, competent writers, and lovers of learning. These initiatives are the responsibility of a well-qualifi ed and dedicated faculty, 94 percent of whom possess earned doctorates in their chosen academic disciplines. The University currently o ers 23 majors, including programs in business administration and psychology, as well as pre-professional programs in medicine and law. The University’s Core Curriculum is one of the strongest in America. Recent graduates have been admi ed to major law and medical schools and other graduate programs of distinction.
