Marymount California University ceased operations in August 2022 after 54 years of operation in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The private Catholic institution was located on a coastal hilltop campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean, approximately 25 miles south of Los Angeles. Prior to its closure, Marymount California operated as a liberal arts college offering bachelor's degrees with notable programs in business, digital media, and criminal justice. The 26-acre campus featured Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and included residence halls that housed a portion of the student population. The university announced its permanent closure in 2022 due to pandemic-related enrollment and financial challenges, marking the end of an institution that began as a two-year women's college in 1968 before expanding to a four-year coeducational university.
