Marymount University is a private Catholic university in Arlington, Virginia, established in 1950. The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary founded the school as a two-year school for women. It expanded to a four-year college in 1973 and became coeducational in 1986. The main campus is on 21 acres in North Arlington. It includes two gyms, computer labs, and six residence halls.
The Arlington location places the university across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. The university is also a member of the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. This consortium allows students to enroll in courses at any of the 13 institutions in the metro DC area and access their libraries.
