About SMWC

Named One of the Best in the Midwest by US News & World Report

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College emphasizes a liberal arts-infused education that prepares students to become well-rounded individuals who are lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers.

Today, our warm and welcoming community supports the work of talented faculty and students across diverse learning environments: campus (women only), distance (co-ed) and graduate (co-ed). Grounded in the liberal arts and focused on preparing students for the future, a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods education prepares students with opportunities for intellectual and personal growth, coupled with personal attention from faculty. In this way, SMWC empowers all students to assume their roles as leaders as it has for more than 171 years.
