About Us

Dear Friends,

It’s no secret that Marymount College is an extraordinary place. After all, our campus is nestled along the picturesque coastline of Southern California. Yet, the breathtaking view is far from the most exceptional feature of our College. The real secret lies in the opportunity to attend a top-notch college with no crowds, no traffic and no hassles; a world away from the buzz of the city, yet just minutes from the freeway.  A college with Bachelor’s and Associate’s degree programs that fit your educational goals with a distinctly personal touch.
 

Our tradition sets us apart. Established by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic order, Marymount has continued in their culture and tradition for more than 75 years. However, we welcome all nationalities and faiths, and provide an open, accepting environment for students to continue and explore their own religious heritage while learning about ours.

Optimism is our advantage. We believe in each student’s success. We work toward this goal through dedicated faculty and staff, small class sizes and open dialogue about all of life’s opportunities. With both two-and four-year degree programs to fit our students’ academic goals, this translates into personal achievement.
 

We anticipate the future. We are currently expanding our exceptional Marymount College experience. In addition to our new four-year degree programs in Business, Liberal Arts and Media Studies, future construction projects on campus include a new, state-of-the-art library and improved athletic facilities. We explore innovative ways to ensure that our students become successful scholars. Our learning support services are second to none.

We welcome you to our campus and our website. Whatever your educational goals, we are confident that you will benefit from Marymount College's exceptional academic experience. We would love to welcome you to our campus. If you are close-by, we would be happy to meet with you and discuss how Marymount College can help you be the best student you can be. For those who are distant, talking with us is just a click away here on our website. No matter where you are now, rest assured, you will feel right at home at Marymount College in Palos Verdes – a truly extraordinary place.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael S. Brophy
