Tuition and costs

Being a Saint Martin’s student is the opportunity of a lifetime, one that will yield positive returns on your investment — for years to come.

You’ll enjoy a level of personal attention second to none. Ninety percent of your classes will have fewer than 40 students, and your average class size will be only 12 students. The student-faculty ratio is even more impressive at 10:1. You’ll also be immersed in a culture of caring that permeates everything — every classroom, every office, and every residence hall. You’ll have access to high-tech facilities, and enjoy highly personal instruction, from professors who are completely dedicated to teaching and, equally important, mentoring.

At Saint Martin’s you’ll get a lot — a world-class education, a “whole” university experience, friends for life — and, thanks to our Benedictine approach, you’ll get a lot more for less.
