Mount Saint Mary's University Distance Learning Courses
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (CSJs) trace their roots to Le Puy, France, where, in 1650, six ordinary women joined together in community under the patronage of St. Joseph. These women served outside cloister dressed in widow's garb and devoted themselves to the needs of ordinary people, living among them and offering their lives in service to these dear neighbors without distinction.

Focus on Student Individuality
The university centers on the student as an individual and has professors that encourage students to acknowledge the strengths in their differences. Much of my assignments as well as my Master�s these have allowed me to capitalize on the power of my origins and the environment I was raised in.
