School Description

Provided by College of Saint Mary

College of Saint Mary, a private Catholic college, offers students a unique chance to learn and grow in a women's environment. Our goal: to help students develop their strengths and potential through excellent academics that combine professional and career preparation with the liberal arts.

Committed to the enduring concerns of the Sisters of Mercy, College of Saint Mary is a Catholic university dedicated to the education of women in an environment that calls forth potential and fosters leadership.

College of Saint Mary is a pioneer in the careful education of women. Since our founding by the Sisters of Mercy in 1923, women of all faiths, from all parts of the world and from diverse backgrounds have studied education, the arts, sciences, business and health care professions.

CSM's excellent faculty encourages students to expand their horizons and supports them in their intellectual goals. Our campus is a vibrant part of the area community, as our students take our tradition of values-centered learning into the world. Our quality, broad-based course of study provides students with the environment they need to think critically, express their faiths and engage in plans for lifelong learning.

Through their years at College of Saint Mary, students grow in knowledge, gain confidence in their skills and expand their natural strengths in leadership positions.

As a Catholic college, we ask the students to look at problems critically and develop rational solutions through social action that ensures the dignity of all persons. The College pays particular attention to equity for women in the worlds of work, community and public policy.

Growing into the woman you are destined to become requires conscious, deliberate involvement in a larger community, relating to and growing with others. Our school provides co-curricular services and activities to enhance your personal development within the college and the world at large. We want you to engage well with others - feel, experience, reflect … and have fun!
