Viterbo University, a Catholic, Franciscan university, embraces persons of all faiths in an ecumenical Christian community, provides a liberal arts education, offers professional and pre-professional education within this liberal arts experience, prepares students for leadership and service rooted in the values of human dignity and respect for the world.
Our ecumenical Christian community holds the person of Jesus Christ and his Gospel as the norm for its community and is one which respects all other religions and becomes enriched by a religiously diverse student body, faculty, and administration.
The liberal arts education provided by Viterbo offers a wide variety of subject matter, including a required general education program, taught so as to encourage and challenge students to be thoughtful, creative, competent, and independent thinkers. By providing professional and pre-professional education within a liberal arts experience they offer a seamless education that blends undergraduate and graduate career-oriented courses with liberal arts courses so as to develop a whole, value-based person. By encouraging leadership and service students become capable and socially responsible in using their talents, energy, resources, and time to conceive and implement worthy vocations and projects for the good of people and the world in which we live.
