Students at MMC can tailor their bachelor’s degrees to find the right programs for them. If students have several interests and skills, they are encouraged to sample from a wide variety of foundation courses and advanced disciplinary courses or pursue the Liberal Studies Program for a broad base of knowledge. All students are assigned a faculty advisor for individual degree planning, graduate school, and career guidance.
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
In August 2015 MMC opened the doors to its newest residence hall, Cooper Square, located in the bustling East Village neighborhood. The Cooper Square residence hall is 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.
In the summer of 2015, 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. These spaces mirror national news production studios, offering students significant experiential learning opportunities.
