Saint Mary's College of California
University Information
A Saint Mary's education inspires learning that lasts a lifetime. It engages the intellect and spirit, and awakens the desire to transform society. We are all learners here — working together to understand and shape the world.
Who We Are
A Catholic liberal arts college, rooted in the life and work of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers and the patron saint of teachers. We are Lasallian.
We are committed to social justice, respect for all persons, and the power of education to transform lives.
Saint Mary's was founded in 1863, one of the oldest schools in the West, but our feet are planted firmly in the 21st century on a foundation of strong values.
At the heart of our curriculum is Collegiate Seminar, in which undergraduates read and discuss great works and learn how to listen.
We operate on a 4-1-4 calendar schedule, which means that during January term students can travel to entirely different points on the globe, lend a hand to others, explore new ideas or take a courageous step towards personal change. And we have wonderful semester, year-long, and summer programs that our students can explore an ever globalizing world.
