As an undergraduate student at Fontbonne, you’ll be part of a diverse and welcoming community of students from all over the world.

Your classes will be small — with a faculty-to-student ratio of 10:1 — which means you’ll receive personalized instruction from professors who are experts in their field. And outside of the classroom you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get involved in student organizations, play intramural sports, find internships or explore everything the city of St. Louis has to offer.
