FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

Variety of Programs
Mount St. Mary's College is the Catholic, Womens' College in the West specializing in the liberal arts and sciences. Our students are encouraged to explore their ideas and define their ideals as leaders in the community. Students can choose from more than 30 majors, plus internships, study abroad, research with faculty, and other experiential learning opportunities that complement classroom studies.

Location, Location, Location
As far as location, Mount St. Mary's gives you two beautiful campuses to consider. The Chalon Campus, perched in the Brentwood hills overlooking Santa Monica; it is home to our Baccalaureate programs. Also, situated on peaceful, wooded grounds in LA's historic West Adams District, our Doheny campus houses the Associate, Graduate, and educational credential programs. Both locations allow students to experience the vibrant and diverse learning lab of Los Angeles.

Think without limits
An education at the Mount means we encourage our students to think without limits, to consider possibilities outside of the obvious, and to broaden their horizons while engaging in service to the community. We give each of our students two powerful gifts: the deep foundation that comes with tradition and the strong vision that allows for innovation. Our mission is to educate women who want to make a difference in their professions and communities; approximately 60% of our alumni have received graduate or advanced degrees. We strive to create leaders through scholarly research and social responsibility. We strongly believe that a college education should allow students the opportunity to follow their hearts while leading with their minds.
