Strength in Academics

Our students make a habit of excellence. The solid liberal arts tradition at The Woods will give you an edge in our ever-changing society, allowing you to expand your ideas, defend your beliefs and articulate your opinions.

We have the proof: U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review consistently recognize Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.  In fact, for the fourth consecutive year, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College ranks as one of the best colleges in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report in its 2011 Edition of Best Colleges.

As a leader in distance education for more than 35 years, we also offer a flexible path for earning a degree while balancing important family and job responsibilities.
