Welcome to Buena Vista University Professional & Online Studies!

Society places a critically important responsibility on Buena Vista University and all institutions of higher learning. We are relied upon to produce enlightened, principled and compassionate graduates who will be leaders in their professions and in their communities - a definition that now extends to the global community in both concept and practice. In fact, over our rich 116-year history, this responsibility has been the overarching commitment of this institution as we have anticipated and responded to the changing needs of society.

At Buena Vista University, the entire educational experience - both inside and outside the classroom - is intentionally designed to prepare you to make the most of the many opportunities and challenges you will face in your lifetime.

Most of all, the people are what make this institution so special. It is that instructor or staff member who takes a personal interest in you and your success. You'll find our supportive community shares many of the same values that are important to all of us who believe in the future of our workforce - integrity, a strong work ethic, respect for others, and the pursuit of excellence in all that we do. We believe these values are essential for today's learners who will soon have much to offer to society.

We encourage you to make a Buena Vista University Professional & Online Studies education the foundation for your life preparation. 

Sincerely, 

Frederick V. Moore
President
