A History of Success, A Lab for Leadership

For over 180 years, Mary Baldwin University has empowered generations of women leaders. We’re incredibly proud of our alums, because they’ve been using the tools they acquired at MBU to change the world for almost two centuries.

The college for women continues that legacy, serving as a lab for leadership. As a women-centered program at a co-ed university, it stresses equity while giving our students leadership experience in real-world environments that prepare them for the world that awaits after graduation.

We look for extraordinary students because we offer an extraordinary program. Leaders, renegades, and trailblazers will find themselves at home in the Mary Baldwin College for Women.
