Interested in engineering, education, nursing or business? At Saint Martin’s University, you’ll find a supportive, diverse community of professors, monks and students who share the same mission: to make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of others. Guided by our Benedictine values - including hospitality, listening, and justice - Saints think, play and live with heart. Saint Martin’s is the perfect setting to learn, live and grow. Located on 380+ wooded acres, we’re halfway between Seattle and Portland, and a few miles from the state capital, Olympia. You’ll be surrounded by the best of the Pacific Northwest: oceans, mountains, culture, art and exciting epicenters for business, health and government.

Additional Information

Two other important Benedictine values at Saint Martin's are community and stewardship.

With 1358 students and a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, Saint Martin's small community means your professors will know you by name and you’ll have so many opportunities to lead on campus. Although small, we are incredibly diverse. Over 35% of our first-year students last year were first-generation students and 59% of first-years identified as being ethnically diverse. We also have over 20 religions and 19 countries represented on campus. 

We believe that everyone should have access to a great Saint Martin's education. Last year we awarded over $26 million in scholarships to students. And 100% of eligible students receive financial support. Be sure to ask about our Benedictine Scholars Program and our participation in the Act Six Program.

I love how Saint Martin’s has so many opportunities for their students, I have become so involved within the Saint Martin’s community and have such a great support system from the students, faculty and staff that keep motivating me to grow everyday as a better individual and leader.
