The private Catholic institution, founded in 1853 by the Sisters of Mercy, operates from a 193-acre campus anchored by the historic Main Building, an example of Victorian Gothic architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The college maintains its liberal arts foundation while offering career-focused programs, with particular emphasis on nursing, business, criminology, and health sciences. Mount Aloysius primarily serves commuter students from the surrounding region, though residential facilities are available in three campus dormitories, and the college competes in NCAA Division III athletics as a member of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.
