Fontbonne University

Fontbonne affirms its identity as a Catholic university. Sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, it is founded on the beliefs that all creation reveals God, that the ministry of Jesus began a process of redemption that extends to this day, and that the Holy Spirit continues to impart grace through the daily experiences of women and men. Among the many signs of God’s grace are teaching and learning, which at Fontbonne are pursued by people sharing a variety of religious beliefs and an understanding of the importance of education.

Fontbonne University, our goal is not only to impart knowledge but also to increase understanding. By providing life-long learning skills through our undergraduate degree programs, we instill in our students a self-awareness that helps them understand how each individual can contribute to society. In addition to becoming well-informed in their chosen fields, our students also learn important skills, such as effective communications, critical thinking and teamwork. And our 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio helps ensure the focus is on our students – our most important asset.
