"Mount Mary College is a place where women come with a dream, and those dreams are taken very seriously." - Mount Mary College President, Patricia D. O'Donoghue, Ph.D. Here, opportunity abounds for every woman - to learn, to lead, to grow! Here, in a close, extremely supportive community of thoughtful women and caring professors, you are encouraged to believe in yourself, to set goals you never thought you could meet, and to become whatever you want to become. Values, Liberal Arts And Encouragement. As a Catholic women's college sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, ours is a values-based education of the highest quality, integrating a strong liberal arts foundation with nearly 30 professional majors. Because of our small class sizes - our student to faculty ratio is a low 14:1 - every student at Mount Mary is able, is encouraged, is expected to participate.
