The Mount: Leading by example, caring for others and innovating for a better future

Our students say that the Mount is more than a private four-year college in a scenic location. You’ll find the College’s true value in things you may not see at first, like the caring community, or the traditions of academic excellence, leadership, and service. You’ll find it in students’ awareness of a global community, and in their innovative methods as they research, intern, study abroad, and experience tremendous personal growth.

Our nursing students visit the Dominican Republic to bring medical supplies and provide assistance in clinics. It’s all out there for you to explore.

Try something new

BE CREATIVEThe MSMC Creative Campus is thriving. Try your hand at improvisa-tional theater. Make a video. Write, paint, draw, or photograph for the literary magazine. Start a student blog. Manage the newspaper’s web-site, or cover college sports. Start a radio show. It’s your experience.

After graduationMount students find success

CAREERSFrom its earliest days as a four-year college, the Mount has provided students a strong liberal arts foundation, combined with the practical education and experience required for careers or graduate school. Many of our students find career paths and valuable networking opportunities through the Mount’s robust internship and co-op program.

Strong academic and pre-professional programs, combined with faculty and internship support and leadership opportunities, offer Mount students more than a degree. They graduate with skills and confidence gained through a multi-dimensional college experience, and a professional edge that employers notice.
