Our traditions and heritage inform everything we do. At Saint Mary’s you’ll discover your capacity for transformative action as well as profound reflection.
St. Mary’s College began in 1863 as a diocesan college for boys established by Most Rev. Joseph Alemany, OP, Archbishop of San Francisco, California. Unhappy with the archdiocese’s operation of the college, Archbishop Alemany applied for assistance from Rome and St. Mary’s College was handed over to the De La Salle Christian Brothers in 1868.
There are presently four schools of study at Saint Mary’s: the School of Liberal Arts, the School of Science, the School of Economics and Business Administration (SEBA), and the School of Education. The School of Science has in the past few years grown as a result of a new science building, Brousseau Hall, which has made the college more appealing to students wishing to major in the life sciences.
