Mount Mary University — Here’s to the Bold

Creativity takes boldness — a truth embraced at Mount Mary University. In fact, Mount Mary was bold from the day it opened its doors in 1913, when the School Sisters of Notre Dame founded a college where women could reach their full potential. More than 100 years later, Mount Mary continues to shape the next generation of bold women leaders who will enrich and transform the world through their creativity, compassion and talents. The University’s Creative Campus Initiative infuses imagination, experimentation and open-mindedness by using Design Thinking and Creativity methods as tools in classes to challenge students to solve complex problems. As a result, graduates have the confidence to know they’ve been equipped to be creative in ways that future employers — and the wider world — need them to be. Mount Mary doesn’t just create. It creates bold women who will transform the world. Programs Designed for You Mount Mary offers more than 30 undergraduate programs of study.
