College of Mount Saint Joseph School Description

The College of Mount St. Joseph is a Catholic academic community grounded in the spiritual values and vision of its founders, the Sisters of Charity. The College educates its students through interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curricula emphasizing values, integrity and social responsibility.

The College of Mount St. Joseph is a Catholic college of 2,100 students that provides students with a liberal arts and professional education.

Our goals are to assist students in becoming leaders in their professions and in their communities, and to prepare them for their life journey equipped with values, integrity, and a sense of social responsibility.

Founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Charity as Southwestern Ohio's first Catholic college for women, today the Mount is a coeducational institution nationally recognized for quality and value and for serving the needs of all its students including adult and graduate students.

Mount academic programs inspire excellence, intellectual challenge and real life experiences.

Start your pre-professional studies at the Mount. Our majors in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, natural science, English, and many more are great foundations for careers in health, law, medicine, or art therapy.

In addition, students have the opportunity to expand learning beyond the classroom through the study abroad, cooperative education and service learning programs.

When the new academic year starts in August, students will find new majors, minors and areas of concentration added to the course offerings at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

An award-winning faculty, a state of the art library, advanced technology that is integrated into the curriculum and a centralized system of academic support enhance educational delivery at the Mount.

The Mount's scenic campus overlooking the Ohio River is a 15-minute drive away from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, a cosmopolitan Midwestern city. Cincinnati is large enough for major businesses, sports, arts and entertainment, yet small enough to be neighborly. Take the Life in Cincinnati tour to see what Cincinnati has to offer.

College of Mount Saint Joseph

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The College of Mount St. Joseph is a private, Catholic, co-educational college located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Also known as “the Mount,” the College was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Charity and educates students through interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curricula emphasizing values, integrity and social responsibility. Total enrollment exceeds 2,100, with over 1,800 undergraduate students and approximately 300 graduate students. The Mount offers 35 undergraduate programs, nine associate degrees, and pre-professional and certificate programs, as well as graduate programs in education, teaching, organizational leadership, religious studies, nursing, and physical therapy.

History

The College of Mount St. Joseph was established by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Ohio, a religious congregation that traces its roots to Elizabeth Ann Seton, North America's first canonized saint. The first Sisters of Charity arrived in Cincinnati from Maryland in 1829 and opened St. Peter’s Academy, then St. Mary’s Academy. By 1853, these schools were replaced by Mount St. Vincent Academy. In 1906 the academy was named Mount St. Joseph after a move to the Mount St. Joseph property in Cincinnati’s Delhi Township, owned by the Sisters of Charity.

Mount St. Joseph Academy offered a four-year high school curriculum but also postgraduate study covering two years of college. In 1920, the Ohio Department of Education granted formal approval for a college curriculum. The College of Mount St. Joseph opened the doors to its first 20 students in September 1920 as the first Catholic college for women in Southwestern Ohio – the same year that American women gained the right to vote.

Within a few years, new construction was underway to accommodate a growing enrollment. By the 1950s, the Sisters of Charity made plans to develop property at the intersection of Delhi and Neeb Roads into a new campus that opened in fall of 1962. By the 1970s, adult education brought a new population of women and men to campus for degree studies, and by 1986, the College was formally declared coeducational. The Sisters of Charity continued to operate the College until 1972 when the Mount was incorporated under a Board of Trustees. The College remains a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Charity.
