Shaping the Degree Program

MMC welcomes students’ initiative in composing their degrees and urges students to think of the degree as an integrated whole, rather than comprising three distinct parts. To ensure that MMC graduates will have explored the broadest knowledge base and developed an appreciation for the varying perspectives through which liberal learning occurs, the faculty encourages students to engage in multiple disciplinary pursuits, and select the broadest array of courses as they progress toward the completion of their degrees. Students work with faculty advisors to craft a plan that will enhance the degree in unique, individualized ways. Other opportunities to enhance and customize study are provided through internships, independent study, research, study abroad, and service learning. See p. 16 for additional information about these options.
