Welcome to Marymount College, Rancho Palos Verdes, United States. Founded in 1932 by the Roman Catholic order, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, Marymount College welcomes students, faculty and staff from all religious traditions. We are the only private, coeducational two-year liberal arts College in California. More than 90 percent of our graduates transfer to competitive four-year institutions.

Marymount College Rancho Palos Verdes commits itself to the values inherent in its Mission Statement. The Mission Statement directs the development of all academic, community, cultural and spiritual programs.

Mission Statement: The Marymount College community provides a caring, person-centered educational experience rooted in a Catholic heritage. We promote student appreciation for a rigorous search for wisdom through a values-based education in the liberal arts and sciences, culminating in the development of a meaningful philosophy of life, prudent selection of a major, acquisition of an Associate degree and successful transfer to a four-year College or university.

Our academic and cocurricular programs aspire to prepare students to be thoughtful, caring and effective members within family, community, society and the world. We seek to develop a sense of universal meaning, a global and historical perspective, and a shared understanding of the common humanity that is the basis for community among diverse national, cultural and social backgrounds. Reflective personal insight, a spirit of service to others, and a concern for social justice through a commitment to living in an ethically responsible way are significant characteristics of the education we foster. We enable students to develop the foundation for competencies necessary for entry, growth and success in chosen careers as well as the enthusiasm to be a lifelong learner.
