The Saint Mary's University Fact Book is a compilation of historical and current data designed to facilitate internal communication, provide data to use in decision-making, planning and improvement efforts, and answer frequently asked questions about the university.
The SMU Fact Book is presented in six chapters: academic profile, enrollment profile, student profile, faculty and staff profile, financial data, and Nairobi campus data. Throughout the SMU Fact Book, data is often presented in terms of the university’s two primary academic units: the College and the Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs (SGPP). The College consists of the traditional undergraduate Bachelor of Arts experience based on the Winona campus. The SGPP includes continuing education courses, certificate programs at the undergraduate, graduate and advanced graduate levels, the Bachelor of Science completion program, master’s programs, the Education Specialist programs, and the Doctor of Education in Leadership. The SGPP is based on both the Twin Cities and Winona campuses, with centers in Rochester and Apple Valley, MN. Also of note, data from the Nairobi campus appears separately and is presented in the chapter entitled Nairobi campus data.
