Short History

Mount Mary University's dedication to nurturing bold, brilliant women is built upon the traditions of social justice and educational opportunity upheld by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Since 1913, these courageous women have infused Mount Mary with strong values and an unquenchable spirit.

Today, Mount Mary University continues the legacy of its founders through a mission of connecting creativity, social justice, leadership and a deep sense of purpose. We provide students with the knowledge and confidence to transform their careers and communities. Our focus on STREAM (science, technology reflection, engineering, art and math) prepares students to be leaders and game changers, ready to solve future challenges.
