As a Studio Art major at MMC I was not only quickly immersed in an avast array of studio practices, city-wide resources and hands-on academic study related to the arts, but challenged and supported by highly knowledgeable and encouraging faculty members and mentors.

The Theatre Program at MMC fostered the development of strong artistic relationships with fellow writers, directors, actors, and producers who have become true collaborators and the cornerstone of my artistic community in NYC beyond graduation.

I found myself excited by the class sizes and the opportunity to really make a difference within the community. Dr. Mary Fleischer was integral to my experience at MMC. I got to work with her throughout my years at Marymount and really felt like I made a difference in my major. Her History of New Media class furthered my passion for experimental theater and the January course Experimental Theater was just the icing on the cake.
Shelby Reilly ’18Class of 2018, Major in Theatre and New Media
During my senior year the Graphic Design program at MMC arranged for a summer internship for me at a New York City corporate design firm. Thanks to the flexibility that MMC offers to students I was ready with the necessary tools for this job. After graduation, they offered me a junior designer full-time position. I worked with an incredible team of designers that was willing to share their knowledge with me, especially the owner of the company whom I consider now my mentor. After two years of professional experience I was accepted in the Communication Design graduate program at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
