Mission Statement
Mount St. Mary's College offers a dynamic learning experience in liberal arts and sciences to a diverse student body.
As a Catholic college primarily for women, we are dedicated to providing a superior education enhanced by an emphasis on building leadership skills and fostering a spirit to serve others.
Our measure of success is graduates who are committed to using their knowledge and skills to better themselves, their environments, and the world.
Since its founding in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mount St. Mary's has empowered women to realize their full potential and to contribute enormous talents in Southern California and around the world. Housed on two beautiful campuses, Mount St. Mary's serves one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation.
From our hilltop Chalon Campus in West Los Angeles to the historic Doheny Campus near downtown Los Angeles, the College provides a transforming education centered on bringing ideas to life. In the past 15 years, 20 women's colleges nationwide closed, went coed, or were acquired by larger institutions. Despite this trend, Mount St. Mary's continues to thrive and its degree programs remain viable and vital in contemporary society.
Our professors teach students to move from the realm of ideas to real-world applications. This mission extends to all programs at the College -- associate, baccalaureate, graduate, and certificate programs.
An 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 live a life of curiosity and engagement, and to contribute effectively to your communities.
