The Mount: Leading by example, caring for others, and innovating for a better future

Our students say that the Mount is more than a private four-year college in a scenic location. You’ll find the College’s true value in things you may not see at first, like the caring community, and the traditions of academic excellence, leadership, and service. You’ll find it in students’ awareness of a global community, and in their innovative methods as they research, intern, study abroad, and experience tremendous personal growth.

Our nursing students visit the Dominican Republic to bring medical supplies and provide assistance in clinics. It’s all there for you to explore.

Strong academic and pre-professional programs, combined with faculty and internship support and leadership opportunities, offer Mount students more than a degree. They graduate with skills and confidence gained through a multi-dimensional college experience, and a professional edge that employers notice.
