Academic Departments

We’re growing. Across our ten schools and colleges, our programs are expanding and international opportunities increase. However, we all share a vision of educational excellence based on small classes, personal attention, and a global perspective.

Students can choose from programs in the schools of business and technology, communications or education or select majors in the colleges of fine arts or arts and sciences. They can study in the United States, Austria, China, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Thailand. It is all a part of the St. Louis experience.

St. Louis University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission.
