Mission Statement

Preamble
Marymount College commits itself to the values inherent in its Mission Statement. The Mission Statement directs the development of all academic, community, cultural and spiritual programs.

Mission Statement
The Marymount College community provides a caring, person-centered educational experience rooted in a Catholic heritage. We promote student appreciation for a rigorous search for wisdom through a values-based education in the liberal arts and sciences, culminating in the development of a meaningful philosophy of life, prudent selection of a major, acquisition of an Associate degree and successful transfer to a four-year college or university.

Our academic and cocurricular programs aspire to prepare students to be thoughtful, caring and effective members within family, community, society and the world. We seek  to develop a sense of universal meaning, a global and historical perspective, and a shared understanding of the common humanity that is the basis for community among diverse  national, cultural and social backgrounds. Reflective personal insight, a spirit of service to others, and a concern for social justice through a commitment to living in an ethically responsible way are significant characteristics of the education we foster. We enable students to develop the foundation for competencies necessary for entry, growth and success in chosen careers as well as the enthusiasm to be a lifelong learner.

Our overarching vision is to develop men and women with maturity, intellectual curiosity and the skills to succeed. A Marymount College education provides for this learning experience to persons of diverse backgrounds, ages and levels of academic preparedness.
