Saint Ambrose University

St. Ambrose University has come a long way since it began as a seminary and school of commerce for young men in 1882. Over more than a century, countless students destined to influence the world have walked our halls. Long-time traditions took root and live on today. The campus grew, and with it the services to ensure our students, faculty and staff have the best environment in which to learn, live and work. And somewhere along the way, the St. Ambrose statue was both painted green and lost a hand. Here’s your chance to brush up on Ambrose’s history.

Everyone is involved in the success and life of the university. That’s why 225 Ambrose faculty members, staff, students, board members and alumni provided feedback via online survey, e-mail, and focus groups, and almost 250 participated in workshops to develop the university’s vision statement. This focused, cohesive statement is essential to setting strategic priorities—those actionable steps that move Ambrose toward fulfilling both its mission and vision.

Mission
St. Ambrose University—independent, diocesan and Catholic—enables its students to develop intellectually, spiritually, ethically, socially, artistically and physically to enrich their own lives and the lives of others.

Vision
St. Ambrose will be recognized as a leading Midwestern university rooted in its diocesan heritage and Catholic Intellectual Tradition. Ambrosians are committed to academic excellence, the liberal arts, social justice and service.
