About Us
Mission of the University
As an academic community that welcomes people of all beliefs, Salve Regina University, a Catholic institution founded by the Sisters of Mercy, seeks wisdom and promotes universal justice.
The University, through teaching and research, prepares men and women for responsible lives by imparting and expanding knowledge, developing skills and cultivating enduring values. Through liberal arts and professional programs, students develop their abilities for thinking clearly and creatively, enhance their capacity for sound judgment, and prepare for the challenge of learning throughout their lives.
In keeping with the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy, and recognizing that all people are stewards of God's creation, the University encourages students to work for a world that is harmonious, just and merciful.

Its 65-acre ocean front campus is in the Ochre Point historic district of Newport, Rhode Island, and includes 39 new and adapted buildings. It is clear that Salve has a history that is rich with a tradition of liberal arts education. This tradition is reflected in the graduate programs - graduate professional education at Salve recognizes the importance of the relationship of learning to the context of living and working in a society of change.
The University was founded in 1934. It began offering graduate education in 1974. A distinction of the graduate program is that it has a 20 year history of offering distance learning. The University has the experience and takes pride in the fact that the personal touch and commitment is never lost to technology.
