About

Mount Mary University is a private, Catholic institution in Milwaukee best known for its historic commitment to women’s undergraduate education and standout professional programs in fashion design, art therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing. The university fosters an intimate, mission-driven campus culture centered on social justice, leadership development, and close faculty mentorship for a diverse, highly supportive student body. Distinctively, while its graduate programs are co-educational, undergraduate studies remain dedicated to empowering women, further distinguished by innovative initiatives like Trinity Woods, an on-campus intergenerational community where single-mother students live alongside seniors and religious sisters.

Wikipedia:Mount Mary University is a private Catholic women's university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The university was founded in 1913 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and was Wisconsin's first four-year, degree-granting Catholic college for women. Today, the university serves women at the undergraduate level and both women and men at the graduate level.
