Belonging
Since its founding, Marymount Manhattan College has welcomed students who see higher education as a pathway to a life of purpose and achievement.
MMC embraces all students and is committed to creating a community in which each and every student—as well as every faculty and staff member—feels a true sense of belonging.
As preparations for the planned merger with Northeastern University progress, MMC reaffirms this commitment and looks forward to the expanded opportunities this partnership will provide.
