Collection: University of the Incarnate Word

Founded in 1881 by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, UIW provides a high quality education to students pursuing academic degrees in more than 40 of today's high in-demand undergraduate programs while carrying on the original Mission of the Sisters. UIW is a Catholic institution that welcomes to its community persons of diverse backgrounds, in the belief that their respectful interaction advances the discovery of truth, mutual understanding, self-realization, and the common good.

UIW Online (formerly Virtual University) is a natural extension of the mission and the entrepreneurial direction of the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW). By utilizing computer mediated learning techniques, the University addresses the changing needs of adult learners. By maintaining educational standards of the traditional programs, UIW Online offers regionally, nationally and professionally accredited distance learning programs in a convenient online format.
