Avila University

Avila University, a Catholic University founded and inspired by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, is a values-based community of learning providing liberal arts, professional, undergraduate and graduate education to prepare students for responsible lifelong contributions to the global community. Our campus is nestled on 50 acres just minutes from Kansas City’s rejuvenated downtown. The Avila community values include excellence in teaching and learning; the worth, dignity and potential of each human being; diversity and its expression; and the development of the whole person.
