A college degree is an investment in yourself and your future. At Maryville University, we strive to offer value and give you the best possible return on your investment. It’s why we were named as one of the best values in private college education by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.

We offer a number of financial aid options to help you offset the cost of your college degree. That way, you can start earning your degree with confidence, and you can focus on your educational success — not financial concerns.
