Authentic Catholic Education

Academics

At Ave Maria University, our academic programs are designed to foster a love of learning and a deep appreciation for the pursuit of truth. Our approach to academics is guided by Pope St. John Paul II’s Ex Corde Ecclesiae — an apostolic constitution on Catholic higher education and its importance to our society. We encourage our students to seek joy in this pursuit of Truth.

Part of a Catholic University’s task is to promote dialogue between faith and reason, so that it can be seen more profoundly how faith and reason bear harmonious witness to unity of all truth.
