Prepared for Your Future

Our Catholic, Marianist values shape our unyielding commitment to student success. Here, you'll find the tools you need to succeed academically, build community and prepare for a career after graduation, as well as build a foundation for lifelong, physical and mental wellbeing.

From volunteering on the University's award-winning emergency medical services team to conducting robotics research, UD students engage the world and immerse themselves in their future career. That way, when graduation arrives, they aren't entering the real world for the first time. They're already part of it — and prepared to make an impact.

Faculty Mentorship

A Supportive Environment

At UD, professors care about you as a student – and as a person. See how Professor Bob Lowe helps students grow and succeed.

For senior Hayden Parsons, her four years at the University of Dayton have been leading her to one thing. But if you think it’s graduation, you’d be wrong. For communication majors like Parsons, the Flyers in Hollywood trip is the culmination of their hard work, and the start of their future careers in media.
When Michael Nguyen, a senior studying computer science, went to the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers conference during the fall semester, he was hopeful he would walk away with job leads. He got one better — a job offer after graduation.
Adam Hoffman took away plenty from a practice virtual interview with an alum — notes on his skills, a new connection and, most impressively, an internship.
