About
At Mary Baldwin University, we're all about your greatness. But growing that greatness takes more than determination. It takes knowing. Knowing yourself. Knowing different. Knowing better. Knowing your potential, and how to use that potential to achieve anything. At MBU, knowing starts with a unique mix of academics, community support, and self-discovery that shapes and sharpens your best self, launching you from the place you are to the place you’re meant to be.
We also believe a college education should raise your potential while lowering your costs. That’s why more than 95% of our students receive scholarships or financial aid that total over $16 million every year. This kind of consistent support propelled MBU to the No. 9 ranking for Best Bang for the Buck in the Southeast from Washington Monthly, who's rankings are known for their focus on social mobility and helping non-wealthy students earn in-demand degrees at an affordable cost.

Mary Baldwin University Reviews
Unfortunately most administrative attention and grants seem to go to sports (its a D3 school) and redoing the interior of the science building, rather than to humanities and arts. This seems to be a trend at universities nationwide, and as a small private university MBU is under substantial pressure to compete.
Unique programs include the early collage Program for the Exceptionally Gifted (PEG) thst admits girls ages 12-16 into college, Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership (VWIL), and a world class theater program just blocks from a professional theater company.
