Mount Mary University is a private Catholic women's university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The university was founded in 1913 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and was Wisconsin's first four-year, degree-granting Catholic college for women. Today, the university serves women at the undergraduate level and both women and men at the graduate level.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 93% acceptance rate and $18,295 average net price make this small Catholic women's university genuinely accessible, but a 59% graduation rate and 66% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish — worth asking hard questions about support and fit before enrolling. Median earnings of $43,000 a decade out are modest but pair reasonably well with the relatively low $19,000 median debt, so graduates who do complete their degrees aren't buried financially. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, mission-driven environment in Milwaukee, but look closely at whether the programs you're interested in have strong completion and career outcomes specifically.
