About
Maryville University of St. Louis, formerly Maryville College of the Sacred Heart, is a private, historically Catholic university in Town and Country, Missouri, United States. It was founded on April 6, 1872, by the Society of the Sacred Heart and offers more than 90 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The school's name is derived from the shortening and altering of "Mary's Villa" when it opened as an all women-school near the order's original downtown St. Louis location in 1872. In 1961, it moved to suburban St. Louis and in 1968 began admitting men. Since 1972, the university has been governed by a board of trustees consisting mostly of members of the laity, although five of the trustees are always associated with the Society of the Sacred Heart. The school's athletic nickname is now the Saints.
