The Mount Saint Mary College campus in Newburgh, New York is situated on 60 acres of rolling green hills that overlook the western banks of the Hudson River. On campus, The Mounts history co-exists graciously with the present in its beautiful campus buildings, which range from a stately 19th century home and carriage house to a sleek modern technology center and our new or renovated residence halls. The Mounts proximity to New York City provides our students with many opportunities to take prestigious co-op and internship positions with New York City businesses, media organizations, government offices, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, and schools, as well as local organizations.
