xpanding the mind and spirit is the
objective at College of Saint Mary in
Omaha, Nebraska. This all-women's
institution offers associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in a supportive,
spiritual environment that holds true to the
university's Catholic heritage.
Founded in 1923 by the Sisters of Mercy,
College of Saint Mary provides a liberal arts
education to a student population of roughly
1,000 and is the only all-women's college
within a five-state area. The majority of students major in occupational therapy, nursing,
physician assistant studies, education, business,
or the sciences.
One of the university's goals is to make
higher education more affordable, and many
academic departments have been restructured
to achieve this. For instance, a new three-year
Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is
being introduced that will save students more
than $20,000 if they attend year-round.
The university also offers unique suite-style
campus apartments for single student mothers
and their children called Mothers Living
and Learning, the largest initiative of its kind
in the nation.
As a member of the National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Midlands
Collegiate Athletic Conference, College of
Saint Mary offers competitive cross country,
soccer, basketball, softball, tennis, swimming,
golf, and volleyball.
With a central location in the city of
Omaha, students also benefit from a wide
array of cultural, recreational, and professional
opportunities outside of campus. Pair that
with the supportive, academic-based collegiate
community, and students have everything
they need to thrive at College of Saint Mary.
