Mount Saint Mary College was founded by the Sisters of Saint Dominic in 1959, but the Mount has been an academic presence here in Newburgh since 1883. The college's roots in education, and in the training of educators, go even further back to the 13th century and Saint Dominic.
We offer our students an affordable liberal arts education with strong academic undergraduate programs and three graduate programs. Our degree programs in business, education, the health professions, media studies, and the social sciences are linked to high career growth fields. Mount students excel in their chosen fields by selecting internships and study abroad experiences that add dimension and value to their education.
Mount Saint Mary College offers its students many opportunities to be involved in scholarly activities and field research. These include contributions to a faculty member’s ongoing research efforts or independent projects initiated by students and guided by faculty mentorship.
Our students have published and presented at conferences around the country, and even the world! These accomplishments provide many advantages for students seeking post-graduate employment opportunities and for students applying for acceptance into graduate programs, where undergraduate research is increasingly valued.
The Mount's Career Center is one of the college's most successful student and alumni support programs.
Mount graduates commonly credit the Career Center for providing powerful, proven, and practical tools that they use to shape and polish their post-graduate portfolios. More than just a student program, the center provides life-long tools for success and advancement for students and alumni.
The Office of Student Success (OSS) offers proactive, student-centered support to every Mount student through academic coaching, one-on-one and small group tutoring, supplemental academic advising, and the Parent Partnership Program. The OSS’s intrusive, developmental approach toward coaching, tutoring and advising supports the holistic academic development of our first-year students.
The Mount seeks to offer our students inclusive communities, social and educational opportunities, and safe and well-maintained residence facilities. All of our residence halls are newly built or recently renovated. More than 1,000 students call our residence halls home.

Studying at Mountcrest University College has not only deepened my understanding of the law but also shaped my growth as a student leader and advocate. I have had the opportunity to contest in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition for three consecutive years, representing Mountcrest at the national rounds, a challenging yet rewarding experience that sharpened my legal research, advocacy, and public speaking skills. Beyond academics, Mountcrest provides a space that nurtures leadership and civic responsibility. I currently serve as the Vice President of the Student Representative Council (SRC), where I�ve had the opportunity to lead initiatives, represent student concerns, and collaborate with faculty on student-centered reforms. The environment encourages active participation and real engagement, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to build both legal competence and leadership capacity.
