Marymount College of Fordham University was a small private women’s college in the United States, and part of Fordham University. Marymount’s campus was located in Tarrytown, New York. Enrollment in 2004 was 844 students. The college was founded as an independent women’s college in 1907 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (R.S.H.M.). Mother Marie Joseph Butler founded the institution to “create a place of learning where women could grow and where they could receive an education that would prepare them for positions of leadership and influence in the world.”[1] Early courses at Marymount ranged from courses in domestic science to classes offered in political science and law. In 1924, Marymount became one of the first women’s colleges in the United States to offer a study abroad program.
