Your career begins on day one
At MMC, “college” and “career” go hand-in-hand. The College’s urban location means students are never more than a few steps or subway stops from Wall Street, Broadway, Museum Mile, the United Nations, TV networks, and everything else the city has to offer.

CityEdge, MMC’s unique four-year college-to-career program, gives every student a personalized liberal arts education combined with career development opportunities in the heart of New York City. A city-infused curriculum, research opportunities, internships, community engagement experiences, and career mentorship are just a few of the advantages students receive from the CityEdge program.

The best of both worlds

MMC’s residence halls are a short subway ride to MMC’s main campus and a quick walk to iconic theatres and performance spaces, great restaurants, and rich cultural attractions. Amenities include a fitness center, student lounge, bicycle storage room, and a beautiful wrap-around terrace.

MMC’s Division of Communication and Media Arts underwent a major makeover, installing a state-of-the-art Digital Media Production Studio equipped with a TV control room, TV studio, and audio recording facility.
