Designed for Student Mothers
CSM recognizes the unique strengths and responsibilities of parenting students. The program offers a supportive environment where mothers can pursue their academic goals without choosing between their education and their family.
- On‑campus family housing
- A community of peers with shared experiences
- Access to childcare at the Spellmen Child Development Center
- Personalized academic and student success support



Live on Campus
Students and their children live in Stevens Hall, which offers suite‑style living designed for comfort, safety, and independence. Housing includes family‑friendly spaces that support both study and daily life.
Academic Support
Students work closely with Student Success Advisors who understand the demands of balancing academics, parenting, and work. Advisors help students plan schedules, navigate resources, and stay on track toward graduation.
