Immaculata University

Immaculata University, a Catholic academic community, founded and sponsored by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is committed to scholarship, formation of the whole person for leadership and service, and empowerment of all to seek truth, promote justice, and engage in dialogue between faith and culture. Immaculata offers programs for traditional, full-time undergraduate students, for adult undergraduate students who need flexible options for earning their degrees, and for graduate students interested in master's or doctoral programs. The university is currently accredited by the Commission of Higher Education Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The university motto,"Scientia floret virtute"(Knowledge flourishes in virtue), expresses the ideal of an education in the Christian tradition, one that affects all the faculties of mind and heart and soul. This knowledge is achieved not only for self, but overflows in the service of God’s people. The dual meaning of the Latin word "virtute" is "virtue" or "power." It is symbolic of the kind of strength that comes from the wisdom earned by reflective study and vigorous application.
