How to Apply to Maryville University

Maryville University's application process starts at the Apply Now link on maryville.edu, and the site separates applicants into two tracks: campus programs (on-campus study in St. Louis) and online programs. Each track has its own Apply Now and Request Information links, so your first decision is which one fits you. If you are unsure about requirements, majors, or deadlines, the site's Request Information form and Schedule a Visit page are the intended next steps before or alongside applying.

Step 1: Choose your track — campus or online

The homepage presents two parallel paths under the same headings:

The distinction matters because campus and online programs are presented as separate offerings with their own application entry points. Applying through the wrong track is an easy mistake to make if you only search for "Maryville apply" and land on the first link you see.

Step 2: Request information (optional but useful)

If you have open questions — about majors, transfer credit, or how a program is delivered — the Request Information form is the site's designated channel. Maryville frames this as part of a supportive process: "Reach out, explore and share how we can make your experience exceptional." For prospective students who want answers before committing to an application, this is the lower-commitment first move.

Step 3: Visit campus or explore online programs

• Campus applicants: the Schedule A Visit page and the Visit Campus link let you see the St. Louis campus in person. The site also has an Explore The Campus section.
• Online applicants: the equivalent step is View Online Programs, since a physical visit isn't part of that path.

Visiting is optional, but it's the step Maryville surfaces prominently alongside applying, so it's worth treating as part of the standard sequence rather than an afterthought.

Step 4: Submit your application

Use the Apply Now link for your track. The homepage's own summary of the process is short: Apply Now, Visit Campus, Request Information. Beyond confirming which track you're in, the site does not lay out document checklists, test score policies, or deadlines on the pages captured here — so treat those as questions to resolve through Request Information or the admissions pages rather than assuming defaults.

What the site says about outcomes and fit

Maryville positions itself around student support and results. The homepage cites:

• 98% career outcomes rate
• 150+ years of heritage
• 86% above-average pass rates for nursing programs (2025)
• 1st in the 2025 Social Mobility Index among private universities in St. Louis

Student testimonials on the page emphasize supportive professors and a smooth process — for example, Lauren Kuechenmeister ('16, '17) says Maryville "was invested in my future," and Dr. Miranda Njante ('25) describes the process as "very, very smooth" with "a lot of assistance." These are marketing statements rather than independent verification, but they indicate the experience the university wants applicants to expect.

Common sticking points

• Applying through the wrong track. Campus and online programs have separate Apply Now links. Confirm which one you want before starting.
• Looking for requirements on the homepage. The homepage is a gateway, not a requirements page. Use Request Information or the admissions section for specifics on transcripts, tests, and deadlines.
• Skipping the visit. It's optional, but it's one of only three actions Maryville highlights for prospective students, so it's clearly considered part of the intended path.
