Online Education

Inspired by faith. Grounded in our past. Focused on the future

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ’s story began a century ago, rooted in the rich Catholic tradition of faith and community. As our namesake, Archbishop John Mark ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ, sought to create an opportunity for all to attain a college education. For the decades since, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ has stood strong as a testament of faith guiding countless students toward futures with endless possibilities. Our 100th year is a momentous milestone in which we reflect and celebrate while eagerly planning for our next century of possibilities.

Economics

I just always had this desire to serve and to utilize my leadership abilities in the best ways I can. You can’t always get that in a lot of civilian jobs, you can’t always be a leader in the law sector per say but you can always be a leader in the Army and that’s kind of a passion I wanted to follow and develop through the ROTC program.
