Mills College has been setting the standard for quality in liberal arts education for more than 150 years. Historically a college for women only, Mills continues that proud tradition today on the undergraduate level. To provide enhanced professional opportunities for all students, Mills also offers renowned graduate programs open to both women and men. Ranked fifth among top colleges in the West by U.S. News & World Report, Mills has also been named seventh among "Great Schools, Great Prices" for our high academic quality relative to the net cost of attendance.

Mills is located in the foothills of Oakland, California, on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay, within reach of the diverse metropolitan centers that make up the greater Bay Area. Here on the Mills campus, it's another world entirely.

Amid the green, rolling hills and century-old eucalyptus trees, students find a great place to live and learn. The Mills campus is heavily accented with Mediterranean-style buildings, many designed by architectural innovator Julia Morgan. Paths and streams wind their way through tree groves and meadows, adding to the lush feeling that pervades our 135 acres.

Words hardly do the campus justice, so we invite you to visit Mills in person or view our photo gallery.
