For over 150 years, Maryville University has been disrupting higher education to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we’re creating more affordable pathways to higher education, including in cutting-edge fields like AI and cybersecurity.

Realizing the potential.
Founded by the Religious of the Sacred Heart in 1872 as a private academy for young women and underprivileged youth, Maryville has long held equity and opportunity at the center of its mission. Today, it’s a nationally recognized private university known for its student-centered approach, academic innovation, and commitment to delivering high-quality education to learners from all backgrounds—on campus and at a distance.
That enduring commitment to access is what led Maryville to partner with 2U and bring 47 of its programs online via the edX platform. By leveraging 2U’s technology and global reach, Maryville is scaling its mission to serve more learners through flexible, affordable, and career-relevant online programs. Our partnership allows Maryville to extend its reputation for excellence into a new era of digital education, while ensuring students continue to receive personalized support and a high-touch learning experience.
The online degree programs with Maryville are designed to meet the needs of today’s workforce, with degrees in fast-growing fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and healthcare management. In keeping with Maryville’s focus on affordability, many of the graduate degrees are priced at or under $27,000—making high-quality education more accessible than ever.
