Master Plan Timeline

St. Edward's is a nationally-recognized university where students:

  • Benefit from a close-knit academic community
  • Receive personalized attention with a low 14-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio.

For more than a century, we’ve been helping students of varied cultural, religious, educational and economic backgrounds achieve their dreams. Since 1999, we’ve been working hard to ensure more students will have that same opportunity. Explore our rapid progress toward the realization of our master plan.
