We were saddened to hear the news that Sweet Briar College is closing. As the nation’s oldest Catholic liberal arts college for women, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has a rich history and dedication to women’s education. Sweet Briar students are invited to aspire higher at The Woods.
In each area of life at The Woods, aspire higher means filling each moment with a passion for achieving something greater. It is melding intellect and spirituality to empower leaders, direct ambition, improve lives and stretch beyond the imagination.
For nearly 175 years, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has empowered women to think critically, engage in lifelong leadership and effect positive change in a spirit of service and social responsibility. We are consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best regional colleges in the Midwest.
