St. Ambrose University is a private, coeducational, liberal arts university affiliated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport. St. Ambrose’s mission statement is: St. Ambrose University – independent, diocesan, and Catholic – enables its students to develop intellectually, spiritually, ethically, socially, artistically, and physically to enrich their own lives and the lives of others. St. Ambrose was founded as a seminary and school of commerce for young men in 1882. Located in a secluded grove of oak trees, the site was far removed from the city itself, intentionally far it seems, from the “corrupting effects of town life.” That same year, St. Ambrose was incorporated as “a literary, scientific and religious institution.” The articles of incorporation stated, “No particular religious faith shall be required of any person to entitle him to admission to said seminary.” By the turn of the century a clearer division was being made between the high school program, or the “academy,” and the college program. The high school program, St. Ambrose Academy, moved to new quarters at Assumption High School in 1958, providing additional space on campus for continued growth. St. Ambrose began offering graduate classes in 1977 with the master of business administration program. On April 23, 1987, St. Ambrose College became St. Ambrose University at the direction of the Board of Directors. In 1997 St. Ambrose began offering its first doctoral program, the doctor of business administration. St. Ambrose University is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
