Kings Pathways offers international helps students gain access to university study in the US. The first students are expected to enrol in the fall 2013
“Marymount is an ideal university setting for an international student who wants to attend classes in our coastal university locations, but who will also enjoy the wealth of learning opportunities afforded by being located in Los Angeles,” said Marymount President Michael Brophy.
Bill Colvin, Director of Kings Pathways in the USA said, “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with such a highly-regarded and perfectly located institution as Marymount California University.”
Marymount California University is one of two Catholic, four-year coeducational colleges in Los Angeles County. With campuses along the picturesque coastline of Rancho Palos Verdes and in the vibrant community of San Pedro, Marymount College challenges its students to pursue lives of leadership and service. In the spirit of its founding order, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, the College strives to graduate students who embody the virtues of integrity, respect for human dignity and commitment to justice.

In 1966 Kings opened its London college in Beckenham, and in 1986 Kings Oxford was added to our group of colleges. Over the years, Kings has been a pioneer in international education programs. In the 1970s, Kings was one of the very first colleges to welcome significant numbers of students from China and Asia. In 2008, Robert Watts sold Kings Colleges to Prime Education. In its sixth decade of change and development, one thing has remained consistent – its students receive a warm welcome, outstanding teaching, an active social life and a complete learning experience.

Marymount's Exciting Transformation
Marymount College proudly announced a change in its name in March, 45 years after its founding. Marymount is excited to move forward under the name Marymount California University, MCU for short. The new name represents the ongoing transitions the college has experienced over the past few years, beginning with the undergraduate programs and the new graduate programs. The Marymount community hopes that the change will allow the college to "embrace its multiple communities along the Pacific Rim", which now includes the new Lake County, Northern California, location. The Marymount community is very excited to preserve the foundations from which it was founded, while embracing the progressive transitions experienced as well its future.
