Saint Leo University

Saint Leo University, a private Catholic institution rooted in Benedictine tradition, offers a vibrant and comprehensive educational experience from its picturesque campus in St. Leo, Florida. Established in 1889 as Florida's first Catholic college, Saint Leo has a rich history of innovation and inclusivity. It stands today as one of the fifteen largest Catholic colleges in the United States, recognized for its commitment to academic excellence and a student-centered approach.

The university provides a diverse array of over 55 associate, baccalaureate, and master's degrees, alongside certificate and doctoral programs, including its Doctor of Business Administration. What truly sets Saint Leo apart is its pioneering spirit in distance learning, having offered educational opportunities to military personnel since 1973, long before online education became mainstream. This legacy continues with a robust Center for Online Learning and regional education centers, extending its reach to students across all 50 states, three U.S. territories, and more than 80 countries.

Beyond its traditional University Campus, Saint Leo fosters a "Courage to Be More" spirit, encouraging students to thrive academically and personally. Its strong Benedictine affiliation, through the Holy Name Monastery and Saint Leo Abbey, imbues the campus with a sense of community and service. With a total enrollment of 10,231 students, Saint Leo offers a dynamic environment where individuals are prepared to lead and make a meaningful impact in their chosen fields, supported by a dedicated faculty. The recent launch of the Lionova Institute further underscores its commitment to faith-anchored, technology-enabled education for the future.
