Mount Aloysius is a comprehensive college with a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs designed to broaden your horizons and help you launch a rewarding career.
The emphasis is on hands-on experience, challenging class work and personal attention. Classes are small, so professors spend extra time with each student, and faculty advisors are available whenever you have a question or need a hand. Mount Aloysius College values a comprehensive and liberal arts education. Therefore, the College has developed Core Goals and Learning Outcomes as well as Core Course Requirements in both the Associate's and Bachelor's degrees for its matriculated students."
