Welcome to St. Ambrose University! Whether you are a potential student exploring the university for the first time, an Ambrose alum, or a member of the community, the entire St. Ambrose community joins me in welcoming you.

Founded in 1882 by the Diocese of Davenport, our Catholic heritage at St. Ambrose has been rich in tradition and strong in stature. You can see our mission being lived out across the campus – not only in the classroom, but outside of the classroom and throughout our university community, for St. Ambrose is a place where values matter...where people matter.

If you are a prospective student thinking of joining our close-knit community, I urge you to check out our admissions page. Because community is so important at St. Ambrose, our student services division is dedicated to enhancing your experience through residential living, student activities, and participation in intramural sports, among others. And to learn more about all the different programs we have to offer, visit our Ambrose A-Z page to take a look at those majors and extra-curricular activities that may be of interest to you.

We also encourage our alumni and friends to remain active in our university! Let us know what you're doing and where you are by visiting the alumni website. There, you can keep up-to-date on alumni happenings, learn more about our alums in action, and view photos of past events. And you may want to check out all the latest Ambrose athletics at our athletics site, where you can get the latest news on all your favorite varsity teams.

This is a very exciting time for St. Ambrose as we continue to attract a record number of outstanding students and expand our campus. We are committed to providing students with a comfortable and productive learning environment. Our newest residence facility, the renovation of Rohlman Hall, and future construction of a $15 million university center are evidence of this commitment.

Our greatest resource at St. Ambrose is our people. We are here to ensure that your college experience is a valuable one. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to student development. 

This unusual attention to the individual student is what we call the Ambrose Advantage. I believe it is unique and I am convinced that St. Ambrose is an extraordinary place at which to study and grow. So please - look closely at what we have to offer, visit our virtual tour of the university, and come see us soon to learn exactly what we mean by personal attention.

Again, thank you for visiting St. Ambrose and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Dr. Edward Rogalski
President, St. Ambrose University
