Office of the Provost
Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to visit the Provost's home page and examine why I am so proud of the University of Dayton (UD). I encourage you to explore the many links to programs and resources you will find here and throughout the UD website. Through these links, you will begin to discover what makes UD such a special educational community. You will get a sense of how our outstanding academic programs, cutting-edge research initiatives, talented and dedicated faculty, rich student life, and strong campus community combine to make us an exciting Learning Village.For those considering UD as a choice for college, nothing can substitute for a visit to our campus where you can experience our welcoming community and see the academic excellence that is grounded in our commitment to Marianist education. You will discover that we are a private university of the perfect size -- large enough to have a rich array of programs, majors, and resources, and yet small enough to give the close personal attention that only comes from a student centered faculty and staff dedicated to educating the whole person. Please accept my invitation to visit the campus and see for yourself what makes us the largest private university in Ohio and a national leader in Catholic higher education.
