Mills College is a liberal arts and sciences college located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mills was founded as the Young Ladies Seminary in 1852 in Benicia, California. The school was relocated to Oakland, California, in 1871, and became the first women's college west of the Rockies. Currently, Mills is an undergraduate women's college with graduate programs for women and men. The college offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and minors and over 25 graduate degrees, certificates, and credentials.[4][5] The college is the also home to the Mills College School of Education and the Lorry I. Lokey Graduate School of Business & Public Policy.

In 2015, U.S. News & World Report ranked Mills sixth overall among colleges and universities in the Western U.S. (regional universities) and one of the top colleges and universities in the Western U.S. in "Great Schools, Great Prices," which evaluated the quality of institutions' academics against the cost of attendance.[6] The Princeton Review ranks Mills as one of the Best 380 Colleges and one of the top "green" colleges in the U.S.[7] Washington Monthly ranks Mills as one of the top 10 master's universities in the U.S.[8]

History

Built in 1871, Mills Hall originally housed the entire College.

Mills College was initially founded as the Young Ladies Seminary in the city of Benicia in 1852 under the leadership of Mary Atkins, a graduate of Oberlin College. In 1865, Susan Tolman Mills, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College (then Mount Holyoke Female Seminary), and her husband, Cyrus Mills, bought the Young Ladies Seminary renaming it Mills Seminary. In 1871, the school was moved to Oakland, California, and the school was incorporated in 1877. The school became Mills College in 1885. In 1890, after serving for decades as principal (under two presidents as well), Susan Mills became the president of the college and held the position for 19 years.[9] Beginning in 1906 the seminary classes were progressively eliminated. In 1921, Mills granted its first master's degrees.

On May 3, 1990, the Trustees announced that they had voted to admit male undergraduate students to Mills.[10] This decision led to a two-week student and staff strike, accompanied by numerous displays of non-violent protests by the students.[11][12] At one point, nearly 300 students blockaded the administrative offices and boycotted classes.[13] On May 18, the Trustees met again to reconsider the decision, leading finally to a reversal of the vote.[14][15]

In 2014, Mills became the first single-sex college in the U.S. to adopt a policy explicitly welcoming transgender students.[16] The policy states that applicants not assigned to the female sex at birth but who self-identify as women are welcome, as are applicants who identify as neither male nor female if they were assigned to the female sex at birth.[16] It also states that students assigned to the female sex at birth who have legally become male prior to applying are not eligible unless they apply to the graduate program, which is coeducational, although female students who become male after enrolling may stay and graduate.[16]

Academia

Undergraduate

Mills offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and minors across the arts and sciences, as well as the option to design your own college major. The school runs on a semester system, with optional winter and summer sessions. As of the 2014-2015 academic years, Mills’ top 5 most popular majors are: English, Nursing, Psychology, Biology, and Political, Legal, and Economic Analysis (PLEA).[17] Mills also offers a unique undergraduate degree in engineering in partnership with University of Southern California, as well as several bachelor’s-to-master’s accelerated degree programs that allow students to earn a bachelor’s and a master's degree in just five years.

The engineering program in conjunction with University of Southern California (USC) is a five-year program, with the first three years completed at Mills. After completing the program, students will have received a BA from Mills and a BS from USC. Available tracks include biomedical, chemical, computer, electrical, environmental, and industrial systems engineering.[18]

Undergraduate students can participate in one of eight bachelor's-to-master's accelerated degree programs, which allow students to earn an undergraduate and a graduate degree in less time. The programs include BA/MA Applied Economics, BA/MBA Business Administration, BA/MA Computer Science, BA/MA Early Childhood Education, BA/MA Education/Teaching Credential, BA/MA Infant Mental Health, BA/MA Mathematics, and BA/MPP Public Policy.[19]

Mills is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Graduate

Rated by Washington Monthly in their 2014 Top Master’s Universities study, Mills ranked 8th out of 100 institutions when considering Social Mobility, Research, and Service.[20] The school’s graduate program offers over 25 degrees, credentials, and certifications. These include unique programs in Bio-chemistry, Book Art, Interdisciplinary Computer Science, Infant Mental Health, and Pre-Medical studies, as well as groundbreaking joint-degree programs.

Currently the school’s top 5 most popular graduate programs are: Education, Business Administration(MBA), Pre-Med, English, and Music. Many of these programs are connected to top-tier, nationally renowned facilities such as the: Betty Irene Moore Natural Sciences Building, Center for Contemporary Music, the Heller Rare Books Room, Lorry I. Lokey Graduate School of Business, and Mills College Children’s School.

Changes in major fields such as Business, Public Policy, and Education led the school to create two joint-degree programs: MBA/MA in Education Leadership, and the MA in Public Policy(MPP)/MBA. The joint MBA/MA is specifically designed to prepare educational leaders and managers for success by giving them knowledge of both the educational process and dynamics, and strategic business and management skills to help graduates confront the complex challenges of the rapidly changing educational landscape.[21] On the other hand, the joint MPP/MBA provides graduates with the training to handle the evolving demand of professionals with cross-sector competencies who are trained in the logic of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and social or business enterprises, as well as the intersection of these sectors.[22]

Mills also offers unique post-baccalaureate certificate programs in: Bio-chemistry, Computer Science, and Pre-Med, designed for students pursuing degrees or careers in fields with requirements that do not overlap with coursework completed during their undergraduate career. The school’s Post-baccalaureate Pre-Medical program boasts a 90% acceptance rate to medical and health science professional schools.[23] Also, the post-Baccalaureate Computer Science Certificate program has no programming or math prerequisites, allowing students to continue on to the Master’s in Interdisciplinary Computer Science with an undergraduate background in a non-computer science related field.[24]

The campus is described in alumna Jade Snow Wong's book Fifth Chinese Daughter, first published in 1945.

Julia Morgan buildings

In 1904, Mills president Susan Mills became interested in architect Julia Morgan because she wished to further the career of a female architect and because Morgan, just beginning her career, charged less than her male counterparts.[79]

Morgan designed six buildings for the Mills campus, including El Campanil, believed to be the first freestanding bell tower on a United States college campus.[79] Morgan's reputation grew when the tower was unscathed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[79] The bells in the tower "were cast for the World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago-1893), and given to Mills by a trustee".[80] The Margaret Carnegie Library (1906), which was named after Andrew Carnegie's daughter.[79] The Ming Quong Home for Chinese girls, built in 1924 and purchased by Mills in 1936, which was renamed Alderwood Hall[80] and now houses the Julia Morgan School for Girls[79] (independent of the College). She designed the Student Union in 1916.[79] Kapiolani Cottage, which has served as an infirmary, faculty housing, and administration offices.[79][80] And finally, Mills's original gymnasium and pool, which have been replaced by the Tea Shop and Suzanne Adams Plaza.[79]
