College of Saint Mary is a pioneer in the careful education of women. Since our founding by the Sisters of Mercy in 1923, women of all faiths, from all parts of the world and from diverse backgrounds have studied education, the arts, sciences, business, and health care professions.  

CSM's excellent faculty encourages students to expand their horizons and supports them in their intellectual goals. Our campus is a vibrant part of the community as our students take our tradition of values-centered learning into the world. Our quality, broad-based course of study provides students with the environment they need to think critically, express their faiths and engage in plans for lifelong learning.    

Through their years at College of Saint Mary, students grow in knowledge, gain confidence in their skills and expand their natural strengths in leadership positions.    

As a Catholic university, we ask the students to look at problems critically and develop rational solutions through social action that ensures the dignity of all persons. The University pays particular attention to equity for women in the worlds of work, community and public policy.  

We invite you to explore the unique strengths offered by a Catholic women's education. This Website is a great place to start, but nothing can replace the benefits of an on-campus visit with one of our enrollment counselors. Please call our Enrollment Services office at (402) 399-2405 or (800) 926-5534 to schedule an appointment.  

We look forward to welcoming you to campus.  

Dr. Maryanne Stevens, RSM
