It's a Great Day Transfer to Saint Mary's:
A BAY AREA HOME FOR REACHING YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL
Our beautiful Bay Area campus is nestled in the rolling hills of Moraga, just 23 miles east of San Francisco. Saint Mary’s College of California is more than a place to get a stellar education in a stunning location (although that part goes without saying). We’re a diverse and inclusive community where faculty guide Gaels to learn and explore. We offer small class sizes, and professors know students by name. Those are a few reasons Saint Mary’s earns a spot in the U.S. News & World Reportlist of the top five regional universities in the West. You’ll have ample hands-on research programs, and internships and career opportunities in Silicon Valley and beyond. Gain real-world experience that prepares you for more, no matter your path in life. Take the opportunity to grow, lead, and serve—whoever you are and wherever you go.
Research Opportunities
Our Summer Research Program offers unparalleled opportunity to work with dedicated professors on groundbreaking topics such as NASA exoplanet discovery, rising ozone levels and environmental justice, and the behavior of breast cancer cells.
Transformative College
Saint Mary’s is the only college in California—and the only Catholic college—on the list of Colleges That Change Lives. Choosing the right college is important, and this is a list put together by a nonprofit organization committed to a student-centered, best-fit college search process.
Scholars Who Teach
Our faculty focus on teaching—and 100% of undergraduate classes are taught by experienced faculty. Every year at least a third of students conduct research with a professor—often in collaboration with world-renowned research facilities.
