Mills College is an independent liberal arts college for women and gender non-binary students.

We offer a highly individualistic yet inclusive environment where students are encouraged to stand out, emboldened to think big, and empowered to make a statement. At Mills, you’ll discover the power of diversity and the confidence that comes from being celebrated for who you are.
