Maryville University has long had a reputation for providing top-notch academics and a great economic value. Lately, those qualities have drawn increased national notice.

U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Maryville among the top "National Universities" in its Best Colleges 2012 list, a step up from its previous designation in the regional university category. In addition, Kiplinger's Personal Finance has named Maryville University one of the best values among 100 private universities and 100 liberal arts colleges, citing factors such as small class size, strong financial aid options and low debt for students after graduation. For the 2010-11 academic year, more than $51 million in financial aid was awarded to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students at Maryville University, with nearly $16 million of that being completely institutionally funded, notes Maryville University's Director of Financial Aid Martha Harbaugh.

And Maryville University is focused on aspects of an education that go way beyond lists and rankings: professors who work both overseas and in the St. Louis region to educate students and connect the University to the world, increased opportunities for students to live on campus, and school pride in Division II sports teams.

The University is committed to attracting the best students and making sure their families have all the financial information they need about the costs of a Maryville University education. Learn more about the University and the excellent economic value it provides.
