The purpose of a UDM education is to graduate students who can set and achieve their own goals, find meaning in their lives, and make lasting contributions to their communities. The core curriculum is designed to provide each student - regardless of major - with the critical thinking, communication and leadership skills he or she needs to do just that.

The average age of our students is 27, including graduate and professional enrollment. 68 percent are full-time, 32 percent part-time.
