In 1969, Immaculata introduced an evening program of continuing education for both men and women in response to the needs of the local community.

A continuing education office opened in 1974 to provide special services for this population.

In 1983, the graduate program took a more defined shape with three new master’s degree tracks in psychology, nutrition education, and educational leadership and administration.

In 1991, Immaculata’s Graduate Division added a master’s degree in music therapy and doctoral programs in clinical psychology and educational leadership and administration.

The first doctoral program was added in 1994 for clinical psychology.

In 2000, the University restructured its academic offerings into the Women’s College, the College of Graduate Studies, and the College of LifeLong Learning.

Effective August 2002, the college is now known as Immaculata University.

The school welcomed its first class of both men and women in 2005 and currently offers extensive athletic and social programs for both genders.

The Mighty Macs have recently become movie stars with production of the 2011 feature film The Mighty Macs, which tells the story of the famous team.

The championship teams were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2014.
