Marymount Manhattan’s Office of Career Services assists students and recent alumni in professional development by providing a wide-ranging series of career programming, individual career counseling and access to job and internship listings. Resume and cover letter review, interviewing techniques, networking in person and online, job search strategies, and transferable skills are just a sample of the topics offered by the Career Services staff. These programs are intended to enhance career development and marketability for both students and recent alumni. Emphasis is placed on relating studies, interests and goals while developing a solid career strategy.
At MMC “college” and “career” go hand in hand and our new, college-wide initiative, CityEdge. CityEdge is a shared set of concentrated experiences for all MMC students that provide expanded opportunities for career exploration and professional development while deepening their immersion in NYC. Components of CityEdge include, The New York City Seminars, CareerLab, Signature CityEdge Courses, and Field Experiences.
Career Services offers job listings that are available online through the MMC Career Connection, accessed through Marymount Manhattan’s Career Services webpage. The Office develops and maintains relationships with companies locally and nationwide. Offerings are tailored specifically for Marymount students. Career fairs, site visits with employers, networking and professional development events, and on campus recruitment are ways that the Office connects students with employers. Career development professionals provide individual and group career counseling, career assessment, and graduate and professional school application advisement.
Internships
Marymount Manhattan’s Academic Credit Internship Program is administered through the Office of Career Services. Many students participate in this program and take advantage of the numerous professional opportunities available in New York City. The College has close ties with cultural institutions, businesses, government, and media/entertainment organizations in the city. The internship experience connects the student with the professional world in a unique way and builds networks that will be useful in the job search. Internships are an excellent career counseling tool because they help students make informed career decisions as they progress through their college years.
Marymount Manhattan students are eligible to take internships for academic credit if they have completed 30 credits and have a minimum GPA of 2.0. Transfer students are eligible after completing 15 credits with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Academic requirements for an internship vary by department and advisor. Students should consult with faculty and then meet with the Internship Coordinator in the Office of Career Services in order to register for the internship. Internships may be obtained through a career counselor, faculty or by the students themselves. Marymount Manhattan students can also take advantage of internships that are not for credit. Career Services will assist students with obtaining an internship using the Office’s resources which may include resume drafting and review, cover letter writing, and interview skills.
