In 1973, Anna Maria College became coeducational, and a year later, began graduate degree programs.[4] On April 3, 1980, the Sisters of Saint Anne parted ways from running the school, and a Board of Trustees was established.
In 2004, the college established the Molly Bish Center for the Protection of Children and the Elderly.[5]
