Mount Holyoke College

History

Chemist and educator Mary Lyon founded Mount Holyoke College (then called Mount Holyoke Female Seminary) in 1837, nearly a century before women gained the right to vote. Today, her famous words—"Go where no one else will go, do what no one else will do"—continue to inspire Mount Holyoke students. 

Education

Six months after graduation, 96 percent of the class of 2017 were working or in school. Of those students, 21 percent were attending graduate/professional schools of their choice. Over 80 percent of MHC graduates enroll in graduate or professional school within 10 years of graduation. More about what our graduates are doing...
