在霍利奥克山，我们开辟自己的道路. 作为国内最早的女子学院之一, 这从一开始就是我们性格的一部分. And it continues to the present day — with our groundbreaking support of gender diversity in admissions and numerous other firsts. It’s because we see the world through a different lens that we know a better way is possible — and together, 我们有技能, 知识和社区使之成为现实. 像霍利奥克山这样的选择并不常见. 这是更好的. 我们认为你会同意的. 以下是一些原因:
严格的. 有关. 精神. 鼓舞人心的. The learning landscape at Mount Holyoke is shaped as much by curiosity and intensity as it is by collaboration and guidance. 你的指导? 我们的教师, 谁被评为全国第一, per the 2020 Princeton Review (which is based on student surveys). 但你也会从同龄人身上学到东西, from internships and from study abroad opportunities that will take you all over the world. 无论你往哪里看, 你会找到充满激情的人, from classes on renewable energy and critical race theory in education to wearable circuit workshops at the Fimbel Maker & 创新实验室. 谁在探寻人类行为的原因和方式. And who forge multidisciplinary connections and relationships quicker than you can say “intersectionality.”
在霍利奥克山, 七姐妹学院中的第一所, 社会行动主义和领导力是我们的基因. The world needs our graduates — who share the conviction and readiness to make their lives stand for something bigger — now more than ever. 任何你最热衷的事业, there’s a way to begin — or continue — your leadership journey at Mount Holyoke. The Weissman Center for 领导 offers resources for developing the skills and strategies of an effective leader, and student leaders put these skills into practice every day. From advocating for underrepresented communities to planning hackathons, organizing Model UN conferences and publishing award-winning campus newspapers, there’s plenty of opportunity to grow into the leader you’ve always wanted to become.
在这里，你从第一天起就被认真对待. Mount Holyoke is a place where you are surrounded by peers, 看到你并重视你的榜样和导师. Where people are on and by your side as you make memories that will last for life. 鼓励你追求更高目标的人, 承担风险, 问问题, make mistakes and break restraints — knowing that such actions can spark momentous and meaningful change.
Mount Holyoke's expansive commitment to access and inclusion is reflected in our student body and admissions policy. 我们欢迎性别多样化的人口, with students from across the country and all around the world. 最重要的是, 我们认识到所有的身份都是多维的, 我们会在课堂上探讨这个问题, 在社区, 在我们的文化中心和学生宿舍.

Though women’s college graduates make up 2% of the college graduate population, they are more than twice as likely as graduates of coeducational colleges to receive doctoral degrees. Over 20% of women in Congress and 33% of women on Fortune 1000 boards graduated from a women’s college.* A degree from Mount Holyoke is an open door to opportunity, and an open invitation to make a lasting contribution to the world.
For proof, look no further than our network of more than 38,000 alums. From the first woman in a presidential cabinet to the first woman of color to win an Oscar for best director, their experience at Mount Holyoke shaped who they are and how they lead. 然而，我们的校友产生了影响, they’re acutely aware of the shoulders they stood on to achieve success — and are ready to do the same for the next generation.
