Mills has been exploring innovative opportunities to extend our legacy since our March 17 announcement that we would stop enrolling new first-year undergraduate students after fall 2021. We are excited to announce that we are pursuing a potential alliance with Northeastern University as a college within their global network.
While Mills is no longer enrolling new first-year undergraduate students after fall 2021, we are still enrolling new transfer and graduate students who can complete their degrees by 2023. There is still time to achieve your dream of a Mills education.
Virtual campus tours led by current students. Online Q&As with students and alumnae. Live chats and one-on-one consults with admissions counselors. Meet the people and see the places that make Mills one of a kind.
Mills has been breaking barriers for women since we were founded in 1852. We continue that legacy today as we fight for gender and racial justice through our support for the Black Lives Matter Movement and our commitment to becoming an antiracist institution.
