Marywood University, sponsored by the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, roots itself in the Catholic intellectual tradition, the principle of justice, and the belief that education empowers people. The University integrates an enduring liberal arts tradition and professional disciplines to create a comprehensive learning experience. Our undergraduate and graduate programs promote academic excellence, advance innovative scholarship, and foster leadership in service to others. Within a welcoming and supportive community, Marywood challenges individuals of all backgrounds to achieve their full potential and make choices based on spiritual and ethical values. Marywood University prepares students to seek sustainable solutions for the common good and educates global citizens to live responsibly in an interdependent world.
School Philosophy
From interior objects to urban environments, we value design and construction as a disciplined practice – the means by which we engage the world at a range of scales with conceptual and formal clarity, disciplinary consciousness, social agency, and material speculation. We believe that education offers a way of making and thinking that enables our students and graduates to do good in the world. Our shared values allow differences between and among our programs to become opportunities for productive exchange, collaboration, and growth.
The Bachelor of Architecture program joins our established architecture and interior architecture programs and our new virtual architecture and construction management programs in fulfilling our school mission and support the overall mission of Marywood. Collectively, we believe in the beneficial and transformative power of design and construction in both physical and virtual environments.
