Mount Mary College Mission and Vision

Mount Mary College is Wisconsin’s first four-year college for women. Located in a park-like setting on Milwaukee’s west side, the college is a well known landmark. Its resources are enjoyed by its students and the community. More than 10,000 women have been graduated from Mount Mary, enriching their communities through their families, jobs, churches, and neighborhoods in the Milwaukee area and beyond.

Mission
Mount Mary College, an urban Catholic college for women sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, provides an environment for the development of the whole person. The College encourages leadership, integrity, and a deep sense of social justice arising from a sensitivity to moral values and Christian principles. Mount Mary commits itself to excellence in teaching and learning with an emphasis on thinking critically. The baccalaureate curriculum integrates the liberal arts with career preparation for women of diverse ages and personal circumstances; the programs at the graduate level provide opportunities for both men and women to enhance their professional excellence.

Vision
Mount Mary College is recognized as a diverse learning community that works in partnership with local, national and global organizations to educate women to transform the world.
