In the 2022-2023 academic year, 55 students participated in chemistry and physics research in the areas of Alzheimer’s, novel materials, and tropical deseases.

Since 2021, 18 AMU students published papers with their chemistry and physics professors in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Ave gave me an excellent formation. It encouraged me and my classmates to see ourselves as effective witnesses through our career paths. I don’t think I would be able to do this work in the same way if I hadn’t gone to Ave.

My education at Ave Maria set me up for success. Every piece of Ave was formative for my personal and professional development — it made me stand out as a candidate. I credit my Ave experience for where I am today.

As a hiring manager at a Catholic organization, I can say Ave grads make dream colleagues. Their commitment to excellence, strong strategic-thinking skills, and fantastic communication is only rivaled by their ability to problem solve, adapt, and have fun in the process!
