No Numbers: The Mount's Faculty

You've heard the cliché: "At _________ college, I'm a name, not a number." Well, there's more to it at the Mount. On one hand, our faculty are accomplished scholars. They publish in leading scholarly journals, give presentations for prominent institutions like the U.S. State Department, and earn honors for outstanding contributions to fields such as bioethics. Many have landed prestigious awards like the Fulbright. But what drives them, more than anything else, is their passion for teaching. They specialize in developing the kind of one-on-one relationships with students that transform lives. That's what our student-faculty ratio of 14-to-1 means—there is no distance between your professors and your needs. You'll work side-by-side with them on research projects, collaborate on in-class presentations, ask for their advice on matters of student government, sit next to them during basketball and lacrosse games.

The conversation you start with them will continue past the classroom door out onto the paths that crisscross campus. It will be a conversation that will last the rest of your life.

Mount St. Mary's faculty are highly credentialed-- 92% of them hold the highest degrees in their respective fields, earned from such prestigious institutions as Berkeley, Harvard and Yale.
