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. Mills is consistently ranked one of the top 100 liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Amid the green, rolling hills and century-old eucalyptus trees, students find a great place to live and learn. The 135 acre campus is heavily accented with Mediterranean-style buildings, many designed by architectural innovator Julia Morgan.

This all-girls college has an electronic writing lab and music studio. It also has an on-campus elementary school for education students. Located on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay, Mills is a calming contrast to the large city nearby.
