Mount Saint Mary's University is set on two beautiful campuses in Los Angeles. Our Chalon campus sits high in the Brentwood hills overlooking the city, near the world-famous Getty Center. Home to our traditional bachelor’s degree programs, the Chalon campus features striking Spanish colonial architecture and an amazing ocean view. The campus is safe and secluded yet in the center of everything.

The Doheny campus lies in Los Angeles' historic West Adams District. The campus is built on a gated Victorian estate that includes various former mansions with expansive gardens. Our graduate degree programs, educational credential programs and Weekend, Evening and Online College for adult learners are housed on the Doheny campus.

Mount Saint Mary's consistently ranks among the top liberal arts colleges in California. Over 59% of our graduates with bachelor's degrees go on to earn advanced degrees, either at the Mount or at other leading colleges and universities across the country.

About Mount Saint Mary's University

They said building a college up here was impossible. They didn-t know our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Back in 1925, nothing - not even the steep climb up the rattlesnake-riddled wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains - could stop them. Nearly 100 years later, our students, faculty and staff remain as unstoppable as our founding sisters. We're still fearless. Still dedicated. Still reaching higher. Mount Saint Mary's graduates know they that they can change the world. They know that they are {UNSTOPPABLE}.
