Saint Martin's University

Saint Martin's University is a private Benedictine university in Lacey, Washington, founded in 1895 as a boys' boarding school operated by monks from St. Martin's Abbey. It began offering college-level courses in 1900, became a degree-granting institution in 1940, admitted both men and women from 1965, and adopted its current name in 2005. St. Martin's Abbey remains on the campus grounds, and some members of its monastic community teach as professors.
