The University of Dayton's mission as a Catholic, Marianist university sets us apart from other universities.

The University of Dayton reads the signs of the times and acts. That's always been our greatest strength.

That's how we became a top-tier national research university known globally for scholarship and research that improves the human condition.

This is a university on the rise that remains true to our Catholic and Marianist calling — to learn, lead and serve. The religious tradition that anchors and sustains us calls us to go out into the world, seek truth and lead in the building of community. We draw strength from our faith and from each other.

Today, we're faced with an extraordinary time of opportunity. We will lead. We will adapt. We will transform.
