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, in-person and online networking opportunities, job search strategies, and transferable skills are just a sample of the topics covered and resources 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 with our 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 24 credits and have a minimum GPA of 2.0. Transfer students are eligible after completing 12 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.

The Residence Life Program at MMC is committed to the overall growth, development, and education of its residents. Our primary goal is to provide a safe, secure and comfortable educational environment while providing residents the opportunities to become involved, exercise their leadership skills and be a part of a residential community. We seek to promote individual growth: Challenging values and attitudes, developing qualities of respect for others, intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, cultural awareness, self-discipline, independent judgment and personal responsibility.

Following recommendations from New York State (NYS) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) related to COVID-19 this year, residence halls are operating at a reduced capacity of about 40%.  

Due to the limited capacity and high demand for housing this year, MMC has also contracted with a third location, "1760", a residence hall located at 1760 Third Avenue at 97th Street. 1760 is a residence MMC students have happily lived before and is home to college students from schools across New York City.  All residence halls are located within a 30-minute commute to the College. Students who wish to live in a College residence hall must submit a housing application and a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure housing for the coming academic year. Marymount Manhattan College expects all students who are granted housing to honor the Resident’s Guide to Community Living, Residential Wellness Pledge, all COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines,  and the Housing Contract. Residents are required to remain in the residence hall for the full academic year. While subject to the College's discretion, residence halls will remain open this Winter 2020 and January 2021 Session. Only those who withdraw from the College may be released from their housing contract. Due to limited space, applicants should submit their housing application and deposit by established deadlines.

These experiences are grounded in the following four areas: Leadership Development, Community Engagement, Student Engagement, and Diversity and Inclusivity. Our office is the center of information on student programs, activities, and involvement opportunities. Meaningful involvement on campus aids in creating a more holistic experience for students, fostering leadership skills and development that students will use throughout their academic and professional careers.

Code of Conduct

MMC has a student Code of Conduct requiring students conduct themselves in a responsible and mature manner on campus. The Code describes the process for disciplinary procedures and enacting sanctions. The Student Code of Conduct is detailed in the “Griffin Guide” the Marymount Manhattan College Student Handbook. Students are responsible for reviewing the student handbook which can be found on our website.

Those students born before 1957 do not need to submit proof of immunity, but must submit proof of age. All students enrolled in at least six credits per semester are also required to document a decision about the meningococcal meningitis vaccine. The vaccine is optional; the documented decision is required. Students should upload proof of immunity (the MMC form or valid medical records) to their Admissions portal prior to the start of classes.
