Mount St. Joseph University

Mount St. Joseph University

At Mount St. Joseph University, you'll find endless opportunities and more than enough inspiration to climb higher than you ever thought possible. You’ll do more than earn a college degree. You’ll have life-changing experiences, make new friendships, explore passions that inspire you to make a difference, and discover what you’re meant to do. The Mount believes in empowering students to become capable, compassionate, critical thinkers and to apply that invaluable ability to improving our shared world. This has been a core principle of the Mount since it was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati over 100 years ago. It's responsible for our close-knit community, rooted in academic excellence; one that believes in the integration of life and learning. Our community values respect and concern for all persons, cultures, and beliefs—and that's of service to others. It's by instilling qualities like these that the Mount not only endures but thrives, creating opportunities for our graduates to succeed.

98.5% of 2022 MSJ graduates were successfully employed, enrolled in graduate studies, or volunteering within six months of graduation.
