There’s a place in the world only you can occupy. A purpose you alone can fulfill. Finding both is all about one word: Knowing.

Knowing who you are, and what you can accomplish. Knowing your limits, and how to push past them. And most of all, knowing a university like no other that emphasizes amazing diversity, profound discovery, and lifelong success.

We’re Mary Baldwin University, and our nearly 180-year history has been spent transforming the potential hidden inside people like you into greatness. Nestled in Virginia’s iconic Shenandoah Valley, our mission is simple: to make the world a better place, one student at a time.

We want to get to know you — but first, you should get to know us. So take a look around. Dive in. Make yourself comfortable. From the constant support of faculty and staff to a true family of students, the only thing we’re missing is you.
