DESCRIPTION :

Stella Maris College¸ a Catholic minority institution of higher education for women was founded on August 15¸ 1947. Beginning in a small one-storey building in Santhome¸ Mylapore with 32 students¸ the College moved to its present campus ?The Cloisters? on Cathedral Road in 1960. Today the college has an enrollment of 3¸800 students from diverse backgrounds¸ communities and nations.

The College is an autonomous institution and is affiliated to the University of Madras. It is run by the Society of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary¸ a religious congregation founded by Blessed Mary of the Passion (Helene de Chappotin) in Ootacamund¸ Tamil Nadu in 1877. Guided by her charism¸ the initiatives of the college arise from a sound philosophy of life based on faith in God and the contemporary reality of a pluralistic Indian society that is challenged by global ideologies and cultures.
