Be the Spark, Be a Knight

Mount Saint Mary College was founded by the Sisters of Saint Dominic in 1959, but has been an academic presence here in Newburgh since 1883. The college's roots in education, and in the training of educators, go even further back to the 13th century and Saint Dominic.

Building on the sisters' leadership, the college's vision for the future is centered on community service and engagement, striving to become the most community-oriented college in the nation and preparing students to lead post-graduation.

With dozens of academic programs in undergraduate and graduate studies, we prepare our students to be successful across all disciplines. Supported by numerous student success programs, opportunities for activities and leadership across campus, and outstanding career development and internships, the close relationships students develop with faculty and staff allow them to shine here on campus and in the community.
