About This School

Mount Saint Mary College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 82%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,736 per year.

Mount Saint Mary College is a private Catholic university in Newburgh, New York, United States. It was founded in 1959 by the Dominican Sisters.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the 66% graduation rate and 74% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. On the positive side, the average net price of $23,736/year is reasonable for a private college, and median earnings of $51,700 a decade out are decent relative to the modest $22,250 median debt load. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, Catholic-mission school in the Hudson Valley and have a clear plan to stay on track academically, but make sure to ask what support systems are in place to help students get to graduation.
