Office of Academic Affairs

Engaging your mind and spirit academically at Saint Martin’s University is rooted in the Benedictine tradition of “Ora et Labora” (work and prayer). At Saint Martin's University, whether the students are in the classroom, singing in the choir, studying the forests, or engaging in a senior design project, they are studying with some of the best teachers nationally.

Our majors are designed to prepare students for leadership in an increasingly complex global world and the social responsibility our graduates will assume. Saint Martin's University students actually participate in a community of scholars that promotes strong faculty/student relationships, active learning, and opportunities to test theories in the marketplace. At Saint Martin’s, students count in the classroom and they know it!


Assessment

Visit the Saint Martin's University Assessment  website.

The primary purpose of Saint Martin’s University curriculum assessment is to improve student learning in our community of scholars. Faculty members establish student learning outcomes for every course and major by articulating the knowledge, skills and values we expect our students to achieve upon completion of the prescribed curriculum. SMU’s assessment practices are used to measure the effectiveness of the enacted curriculum in meeting the established student learning outcomes.
