Mills College

Mills College may not be for everyone, but it might be perfect for you.

Located in the foothills of Oakland, California, on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay, the Mills College campus is another world unto itself. Thanks to our convenient location, students have the opportunity to live and learn in a idyllic setting while remaining within reach of the diverse metropolitan centers that make up the greater Bay Area.

And if you ask our undergraduate students why they chose Mills College, they'll most likely reference our academic programs that have set the standard for quality in liberal arts education for more than 150 years.

Or they might mention our beautiful campus, with its rolling hills and Mediterranean-style buildings that make Mills College such a great place to live and learn.

However few students, if any, will say they chose Mills because it's a women's college.

Because at Mills, despite the fact our undergraduate programs are geared towards women, it's far from the defining characteristic of an outstanding institution. In fact, Mills also offers renowned graduate programs open to both women and men.

At Mills College, an outstanding faculty comprised of nationally and internationally respected scholars is committed to developing the strengths of every student, preparing them for lifelong intellectual, personal, and professional growth.

There's a reason why U.S. News & World Report ranked Mills fourth among colleges and universities in the West. test.
