Mills College at Northeastern University in Oakland, California is part of Northeastern University's global university system. Mills College was founded as the Young Ladies Seminary in 1852 in Benicia, California, and in 1885 was renamed Mills College; it was relocated to Oakland in 1871 and became the second women's college west of the Rockies. In 2022 it became a part of Northeastern University. The college was thus a women's college for most of its history and is now an Oakland campus within the Northeastern University system.
