Blurring The Boundaries
Color inside the lines. Do not leave the designated area. Use only a No. 2 pencil. Have you ever noticed that much of your education so far has focused on staying within clearly defined boundaries?
Well, here’s where it gets interesting. At Mount St. Mary’s, we encourage our students to think without limits, to consider possibilities outside the obvious, to blur the boundaries. At the Mount, you might find that you are discussing ethics in a biology class, or entrepreneurship in an English class. You might suddenly see an issue in a whole new way or discover an interest you never knew you had. People don't always fit in closely defined categories, either, so you might find that a professor can also be a friend or mentor, or that you have a lot in common with a classmate who once seemed very different from you. And pretty soon you'll start to see yourself in a whole new way, too, because at the Mount, perhaps the greatest distinction we blur is the one between becoming and being.
Leading women
For most women, the idea of limitless options is a fairly recent one, emerging only in the last two generations. But as a college for women, Mount St. Mary’s has been connecting women to a world of infinite possibilities since our founding. So when we say that we are “a leading women’s college,” we mean it two ways. We are a leader in educating women — and our graduates are leaders, too, in fields from medicine to music.
A mission to serve
If you had to choose, would you rather attend a college with a rich and respected educational tradition dating back centuries or one that innovates and inspires its students to serve in new and different ways?
You don’t have to choose. Mount St. Mary’s offers both. Our Catholic mission and identity mean that we are connected to one of the oldest university traditions in the world — but also driven to serve the modern world in ever more meaningful ways.
The Mount welcomes and nurtures students of all faiths, and we give each of our students two powerful gifts: the deep roots that come with tradition and the strong wings that allow innovation.
It’s not a movie, it’s your life.
If you think studying filmmaking sounds like fun, you’re right. Just ask any of the students taking part in the Mount’s new Documentary Film and Social Justice program. Working with talented faculty, these students learn the fundamentals of filmmaking while creating their own documentaries aimed at promoting social change.
But the excitement of making a film is secondary to what the program really achieves, say the Mount’s faculty members. “This program is designed to empower students to use their their knowledge and skills to address significant social concerns,” says Dr. Pam Haldeman, one of the program’s founders. “The program also facilitates a deeper understanding and awareness of issues in the community at large.”
The program also features presentations by noted filmmakers and an annual Human Rights Film Festival, which screens some of the most powerful documentaries being produced today.
Why the Liberal Arts?
How do you know when you have learned something? Is it when you know all the right answers? That’s what some schools believe. But at Mount St. Mary’s, we focus less on finding the right answers and more on finding the right questions. That’s because we see learning as a process, a way of traveling through the world, not a one-way street to a set of simple answers.
A Mount education is an education in the liberal arts. That means you’ll gain broad exposure to ideas in a wide range of fields, from philosophy to physical science. You’ll also gain depth of knowledge in your chosen field, and prepare to make a difference in your career and community. But perhaps most of all, a liberal arts education at Mount St. Mary’s will give you the skills and habits of an educated person: the ability to communicate effectively, to solve problems, to work cooperatively, to analyze data, and, of course, to ask all the right questions.
One Big Classroom
As beautiful as our campuses are, and as well-equipped as our classrooms and labs, at the Mount, we don’t want students to think that learning ends with our walls. Through programs ranging from international studies around the globe to community service just across town, we invite our student to see the world as their classroom.
“My program was fascinating. I interned with the U.S. Marshal service in D.C. Superior Court. It taught me a lot about what I would like to pursue, which is definitely not corrections, but rather rehabilitation.”
— Terry Johnson, criminal justice and Spanish major, participant in the Washington Semester Program.
Writing the book on Los Angeles
If literature isn’t the first thing you associate with the city of Los Angeles, you are not alone. But working with professor Scott Bryson, Mount St. Mary’s first-year students are putting L.A. literature on the map. Cataloging works that range from detective novels to memoirs, these students have developed a website dedicated to “Mapping the Literary Landscape of Los Angeles” — check it out at www.msmc.la.edu/pages/1761.asp.
Imagine what these students will do as sophomores.
Learning How to Learn
What makes a great professor?
There are as many answers to this question as there are Mount St. Mary’s students. In fact, you will likely find that each semester will bring new favorites among the faculty who teach your classes. But there is one characteristic that all great teachers share: a willingness to learn alongside their students. Your Mount St. Mary’s professors see learning as a lifelong adventure, and their enthusiasm is catching.
What’s more, you can count on ample individualized attention from your professors. Small classes sizes — averaging just 20 students; help — but our faculty members don’t limit their commitment to class time only. From a study sessions before a big exam to mentoring on a research program, you’ll find that Mount St. Mary’s faculty are happy to help.
The right tools
Whether it’s the latest in lab equipment, software to create a powerful presentation, or a library the links you to the world’s best collections, the right tools are an important part of a top-quality college education. But it’s not enough for a college or university to have the equipment — you also want to be sure that the school you choose lets you use these resources. Unlike many schools that reserve their best equipment for graduate students or faculty, the Mount gives undergraduates top priority for all our best tools. Just as our most outstanding faculty members will teach your classes, our best equipment will be in your hands.
So you bring your mind. We’ll supply the rest.
Creating new knowledge
One of the best ways to acquire new knowledge is to immerse yourself in creating it. At Mount St. Mary’s, our students are active researchers, taking leading roles in projects that explore new uses for drugs, uncover the literary side of Los Angeles, document marginalized voices, and much more.
Since the research enterprise is especially important in science, the Mount offers exceptional research opportunities for science students. Our Summer Research fellowships give students the opportunity to become part of the investigation teams in sites such as:
- The American Heart Association
- The National Institutes of Health
- The National center for Genome Research
- UCLA
- The Harvard School of Public Health
- CalTech
- The New York University School of Medicine
Is it any wonder that our graduates enjoy great placement rates in medical school and graduate programs in the sciences?
Where can you go with a Mount St. Mary’s science degree?
(a real e-mail from Mount student Heather Yonutas, ’06)
Dear Tiff,
I have to be short, since I am in South Africa for now with the International Mission on Medicine program and will be leaving to travel around and learn more about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and health disparities in the country. It has been a life-changing experience. When I return to the U.S. I will once again be working at UCLA in biochemistry as well as the AIDS clinic, where we are specifically looking at drug interactions of patients with AIDS who have cancer as well. While all of this is going on, I am studying for the medical-school admissions test and taking a summer school class — silly me!
I am sorry but my time at this Internet café is almost up. I miss you and everyone else at the Mount. Bye for now,
Heather
Equipped for success
An education is only as good as the resources it places in its students’ hands — and that’s why the Mount is committed to excellent facilities for student use. From first-rate science labs to art studios that inspire to computer labs with the latest in hard- and software, Mount St. Mary’s equips you to excel.
Community and Compassion
You’ve heard it said that knowledge is power. At the Mount, we take it a step further. We believe that knowledge is the power to do good. An education that doesn’t inspire you to take up the concerns of others, to shoulder a little of the world’s burden, is an education wasted.
Every experience at Mount St. Mary’s, from classes to clubs, will ask you to see the world as yours to change. Your education here will require you to integrate thought and action, belief and understanding, heart and mind. You’ll be better for it. So will the world.
Here’s a paradox:
How can you be in a place where diversity is all around you but no one is diverse?
Give up? It’s because no ONE person is diverse. Diversity is a characteristic of groups, not individuals. At the Mount, we value diversity and we always have — our student body reflects that clearly. But we recognize that it takes a group — a collection of one-of-a-kind people — to create true diversity. So just as strongly as we encourage diversity, we encourage each of our students to become exactly who she is meant to be.
“What I love most about my job, as a psychologist working with Latino children who have experienced trauma, is providing the support the children need to overcome their experiences and find their way through to a brighter side of life. To me the gift of empathizing with another human being is the vital skill that Mount St. Mary’s has taught me.”
—Maria Avila, ’91, psychologist
Home away from home
You’ll feel right at home in residence halls that enjoy a strong sense of community.

Visit our residence-hall website at www.msmc.la.edu/pages/361.asp
Interested in creating social change through public policy or government? Then you won’t want to miss our Public Leaders education Network (PLEN) program, which whisks you off to Washington, D.C. for a week or more of interacting with legislators and policymakers. Watch a case being argued in front of the Supreme Court or listen in as members of Congress debate a thorny issues. Be thinking, all the while, of how you can make things better.
Preparing for the Future
Preparing women of influence
It used to be that women who wished to lead had only men to serve as mentors and models for their pursuits. But now women have generated their own models for leadership, and have given rise to a whole new kind of leadership, one that calls not for a loud voice, but for deep commitment, strong skills, and keen vision.
Mount St. Mary’s gives future leaders all these tools, so women can lead from their hearts, and not by following others.
A foundation of knowledge and services
To come: Concentrate on the access to professionals and experiences brought to campus to prepare students, as well as services offered through career placement, etc.
Double dose of the Mount at Harvard
Twins Sonia and Miriam Salgado, both members of the Mount’s class of 2004, don’t do everything alike — but they did both decide on Harvard University for graduate school. And both credit the Mount with helping to inspire lofty goals for their future. “My adviser really pushes her students to go for their dreams,” says Sonia, who double majored in liberal studies and American studies. “And Mount St. Mary’s gives you the broad background that graduate schools really notice,” adds Miriam, a liberal studies and philosophy major who won a prestigious Rockefeller Fellowship to support her education.

A winning neighborhood
You can’t beat Los Angeles for excitement and entertainment, and for glitz and glamour, no place tops the City of Angels either.
But beneath its showy exterior, Los Angeles is a city with layers of amazing opportunities to explore, making it a winning neighborhood for your whole-person education.
With the Getty and other museums, plus highly regarded musical and theater ensembles and dance troupes, Los Angeles is paradise for arts lovers. The city has nature covered, too, with gardens, zoos, an aquarium, and more. And diversity — Los Angles has long beckoned people from across the Americas and beyond the Pacific to create a multi-cultural community that makes an exciting and enriching backdrop for your studies.
Two terrific campuses
Mount St. Mary’s gives you two beautiful campuses to consider. The Chalon campus, perched in the Brentwood hills overlooking Santa Monica, is home to our baccalaureate programs. And situated on peaceful, wooded grounds in L.A.’s historic West Adams District, our Doheny campus houses associate, graduate, and educational credential programs.
Is our face familiar?
If you have the feeling you’ve seen the beautiful Chalon campus of Mount St. Mary’s before, maybe it's because you have. With its striking Spanish colonial architecture, the campus has achieved a bit of Hollywood celebrity.

Whatever you are meant to do in life, a Mount St. Mary’s degree will get you there.
