Frances Elizabeth Kent, fifth child of Robert Vincent and Edith Genevieve, was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa on November 20, 1918. Kent\'s parents were artistically inclined, especially her father, and always encouraged her art. In junior high, Corita and her siblings attended Blessed Sacrament School which was partially staffed by Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. When attending junior high, Kent\'s art potential was noticed by several nuns.[8] Kent graduated from Los Angeles Catholic Girls\' High School in 1936.[8]
Upon entering the Roman Catholic order of IHM sisters in Los Angeles in 1936, Kent took the name Sister Mary Corita. She took classes at Otis (now Otis College of Art and Design) and Chouinard Art Institute, and received a BA degree from Immaculate Heart College in 1941. She received a MA degree at the University of Southern California (USC) in Art History in 1951. Kent recalled in an oral history interview with UCLA that she learned serigraphy during this time from Maria Sodi de Ramos Martínez, the widow of Mexican muralist Alfredo Ramos Martínez.[9]
