Our Brainy Bees
The SAU Honors Program is a select, tight-knit community of eager learners with a keen desire to be pushed intellectually.
All the Comforts of Home
A residence hall is more than a place to live; it's a place to live with purpose and compassion. With 24/7 security, weekly housekeeping, and Resident Assistants on each floor, students living on-campus are surrounded by people who care and want them to succeed.
An Affordable College Education
Did you know that the average First-Year student at St. Ambrose University receives more than $20,000 in financial aid?
Your St. Ambrose education is a tremendous value due in part to keeping tuition and housing affordable and also because when compared to large public institutions, SAU has higher rates for first-year retention and graduation. That tells you our students like it here, focus on their studies, graduate faster, and start their careers sooner. It results in a lower total cost for your degree!
We'll help you develop a plan to pay for college that meets your needs.
