Philosophy of Avila University

Avila University, sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, is an academic community dedicated to education in the liberal arts and the professional areas.
Avila is a Catholic university that seeks to foster the intellectual, spiritual and social growth of its members. The university community includes individuals with a diversity of religious convictions.
The administration, faculty, staff and students work together to create an environment wherein the quality of Christian hope permeates and enlivens an objective search for truth.
Avila students are encouraged to develop values which enable them to grow in freedom and responsibility as they respond to contemporary, social and moral issues.
The Avila community provides an atmosphere of faith and support in which members may gain insight into themselves, their relationship with God, and their place of service in the world community.
