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.

Short History
Sweet Briar was established in 1901 in the will of Indiana Fletcher Williams. Williams founded the school in memory of her daughter, Daisy, who had died at age 16. The College opened in 1906 with 51 students. The A.B. degree was immediately recognized by graduate programs at leading universities — and three of the College’s first five graduates went on to pursue advanced degrees.
