University of Dayton

Welcome to the University of Dayton
A vibrant and diverse community in the Marianist tradition.

The University of Dayton is a comprehensive Catholic university, a diverse community committed, in the Marianist tradition, to educating the whole person and to linking learning and scholarship with leadership and service.

A leader in higher education - a preeminent Catholic university - an institution whose students, faculty, staff, and alumni live its mission: Learn, Lead, and Serve.

The University of Dayton has evolved from a boarding school for boys carved out of fertile farmland more than 150 years ago into a top-tier national, private university and one of the 10 best Catholic universities in the nation.

This is a university on the move with a deep commitment to academic excellence. At the undergraduate level, we offer more than 70 high-quality programs in four accredited divisions. We provide premiere graduate programs at both the master's and doctoral levels. We offer a law degree, either traditional or accelerated.

At the University of Dayton, you'll find a friendly, welcoming campus that embraces diversity. Nationally recognized as a top-tier university, we offer the resources of a large university and the personal attention you'd expect at a small college.
