Marymount is Virginia's only Hispanic-Serving Institution. The Marymount 2019-2024 strategic plan, Momentum, is guided by the vision for the University to be nationally recognized for innovation and commitment to student success, alumni achievement, and faculty and staff excellence.

Marymount's College of Health and Education is a well-recognized leader in the education of skilled, caring health care professionals and educators. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, the College offers a wealth of respected degree paths that lead to a world of career and entrepreneurial opportunities. It is a learning community dedicated to academic and clinical quality, grounded in and guided by the Catholic educational commitment to compassion, service to others, global engagement, and ethical, socially responsible leadership.

The College of Health and Education is made up of four schools: The School of Health Sciences, the Malek School of Nursing Professions, the School of Counseling, and the School of Education.

At the graduate level, it offers degrees in Counseling, Education, Public Health Education and Promotion, Nursing, and Physical Therapy. Students benefit from clinical experiences and internship placements in some of the national capital area's leading educational and health care organizations as well as throughout the country and the world.

The College of Health and Education boasts state-of-the-art facilities, encompassing numerous teaching and research labs including an acute care nursing simulation lab. In the heart of a vibrant professional hub and just a few miles away from Washington, D.C., students live and learn in a prime location in the national capital region-an epicenter for dialogue, engagement, and diversity.
