AVE MARIA EXPERIENCE

MONTH DAY, YEAR

Experience what Ave Maria University is actually like. From the authentic, Catholic culture and rigorous academics to its joyful community life.

The Ave Maria Experience is a two-day, fully immersive event that lets you live like an AMU student:

Stay overnight in the residence halls
Attend real classes alongside current students
Pray with us at daily Mass or Adoration
Make new friends from around the country
Experience the joy that sets AMU apart

During your visit, you can explore clubs, households, intramural sports, and campus events; learn about scholarship opportunities; and discover our 36 majors and 35 minors—all while enjoying our campus in sunny southwest Florida.
