Presentation College Teach Out Pathways

Transfer to St. Ambrose University

St. Ambrose University (SAU) has been designed as a teach-out university for Presentation College students.  Through our robust transfer program, we have taken specific steps to provide you and members of the Presentation College community with assistance.

St. Ambrose University (SAU) welcomes over 200 new transfer students each year, and as we build on our partnership with Presentation College, we are ready to serve and welcome you as a transfer student.  As a teach-out partner for Presentation College students, St. Ambrose University is here to help you successfully transfer, complete your degree, and participate in our vibrant student community.

St. Ambrose is host to a vibrant global student body actively engaged in rich educational opportunities and active lifestyle that the Quad Cities is renowned for. As a campus community, we are committed to a culture that is anchored in faith, service and justice. In fact, 82% of our student body is civically engaged. We have over 70 student clubs and organizations along with a nationally-ranked athletics program to enrich your student life experience. While we respect our roots, we are also ready for the future. Our agile and adaptive approach to learning allows us to embrace innovation and fresh curricular approaches for successful next-generation leaders. St. Ambrose has invested over $110+ million in technology and building infrastructure over the last decade. As we pilot the launch of the first metaversity through our new AR/VR partnership, we are also building the new Higgins Hall for Innovation and Human-Centered Design, a $13 million state-of-the-art renovation. Indeed, we are innovating at every turn.

Our doors are open; we are here to support you in the coming months. Whether it be online or in person, we have dedicated advisors, admissions representatives, faculty, career center, and athletic support staff ready to help achieve students' education, career and lifestyle goals.
