Maryville Named Among Fastest-Growing Universities for Sixth Consecutive Year

Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri is ranked for the sixth consecutive year in the top five fastest-growing private, nonprofit universities in the U.S., as recognized recently by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Maryville has seen undergraduate enrollment growth for 17 straight years with record undergraduate growth in the Fall 2024 academic year solidifying our status as one of the fastest growing private universities in the nation. Maryville’s exponential expansion on campus and online is a resounding testament to our commitment to access and opportunity in education and our innovative approach to learning.

“Our continued growth flows from a deep and abiding commitment embedded in our strategic vision to provide access and opportunity for all,” said President Mark Lombardi, PhD. “We do this because the problems of today demand the talents of a rich and diverse generation of graduates schooled in time-honored knowledge using the digital tools of today and tomorrow.”

At Maryville, despite the myriad challenges that society presents, we continue to grow due to our laser-focus on one abiding goal: student outcomes. Our 98% career success rate is second to none in higher education, and we intend to maintain this amazing level of student outcome achievement.

With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and academic excellence, Maryville continues to lead a revolution in access and opportunity. As we welcome a larger and more diverse student body, we remain committed to nurturing the talents of our students and empowering them to become lifelong learners.
