Programs of Study

Mills offers an intellectual environment that values creativity, experimentation, and social responsibility. In small, interactive classes led by renowned professors, you will engage in lively debates, discover a variety of disciplines, and explore your academic passions. Your fellow students—smart, diverse women of all ages and backgrounds—will inspire you to open your eyes to the experiences of others, broadening your ideas about culture, society, and justice.

After your first year, you will be able to cross-register for one course per semester at UC Berkeley, California College of the Arts, and other Bay Area colleges; study abroad in one of 70-plus countries; or spend a semester as a visiting student in another part of the United States.
