WHERE PASSION MEETS PERSPECTIVE

The College of Mount Saint Vincent is a rigorous and inclusive Catholic and ecumenical liberal arts college with nationally recognized undergraduate and graduate programs. Our scenic campus is located on the Hudson River, in the Riverdale neighborhood of New York City.

The Undergraduate College combines a strong core curriculum with a full array of majors. Small class sizes and personalized attention provide our talented students with an exceptional academic experience.

Education here goes beyond knowledge, skills, and preparation for work. At the Mount, we cultivate independent thinkers ready to apply critical inquiry toward lives of leadership, service, and innovation.

THE MOUNT WILL SHAPE HOW YOU THINK without telling you what to believe. We will equip you for success in any field because we emphasize the ultimate credentials: a repertoire of analytical skills; clear, critical thinking; the ability to express yourself convincingly both orally and in writing; and the ability to weigh moral and ethical questions seriously.

Founded by the Sisters of Charity of New York in 1847, the College of Mount Saint Vincent challenges students to master their full potential as creative, disciplined thinkers and problem solvers.

You might not remember every piece of the problems you solve in class—you’ll be too busy finding innovative solutions for new problems you encounter in your post-college pursuits. But what you learn at the Mount stays with you long after you graduate. A Mount education prepares students for a life well-lived.
