At Saint Martin's University, we honor all your dimensions. As a liberal arts 4-year coed college of 1,250 students, we prepare students for a lifetime of learning in their chosen career and beyond. Offering 22 majors and 6 graduate programs, a Saint Martin's education is comprehensive. Classes are small with 97 percent having less than 30 students. Our student faculty ratio is 15:1, but all classes are taught by professors...no teaching assistants here. In addition to academics, Saint Martin's offers students many leadership opportunities through student organizations, drama, music and athletics. We offer NCAA Division II athletics in men's and women's basketball, golf, soccer, cross country and track and field; also women's softball and volleyball, and men's baseball. At Saint Martin's YOU are the focus...of our academics, student services and athletics.

Saint Martin's patron saint is Saint Martin of Tours, a fourth century European missionary and later Bishop of France. The university and that of its founder, Saint Martin’s Abbey, sits on 300 acres of woodlands, meadows and meandering trails. The site was selected in 1893 by Abbot Bernard Locnikar, O.S.B., of Minnesota's Saint John's Abbey, Saint Martin's Abbey’s mother house. At an April 21, 1894, public auction, the parcel that would become the Saint Martin’s campus was purchased for $6,920. Work began on Saint Martin’s first building in January 1895, and by late summer, a four-story structure housing both the school and a monastery were completed.
