Letter From the Chair of Accounting and Business Management
Welcome
to the Division of Accounting and Business Management. As you have many
options for studying business and accounting we appreciate your interest
in Marymount Manhattan. We believe that our program is the right fit for
many recent high school graduates as well as for adult students who wish
to upgrade their skills and advance their careers. The successes of our
graduates demonstrate the benefits to be gained from choosing Marymount
Manhattan.
There are three distinctive
features of our program. First, at MMC we combine liberal arts courses
with a core curriculum that introduces students to all aspects of business:
accounting, finance, marketing and management. Our curriculum stresses
case analysis, problem solving and the development of oral and written
communication skills. In your business and accounting courses you will
also learn how to function effectively in a socially and culturally diverse
environment and to relate to the needs of the global business community.
Second, each student
has an academic advisor for course selection and career counseling. This
individualized approach is also reflected in our small classes with no
more than fifteen students in advanced courses and no more than twenty-five
in introductory courses. Small classes allow students to take an active
role in class activities, group or individual projects.
Finally business education
at Marymount Manhattan includes learning by doing. We have many opportunities
for students to take credit internships in major businesses and non-profit
organizations in New York City such as banks, advertising agencies, financial
services companies and public relations firms. Students already working
may arrange internships with their employers to do projects outside the
scope of their regular responsibilities. Internships introduce students
to the workplace and allow them to put their skills and knowledge into
practice. Internship experience is often crucial in advancing to higher
levels of responsibility or in getting that first professional opportunity.
We believe that business
education at Marymount Manhattan is enhanced by the strong liberal arts
program required of all students and by the other areas of professional
education such as Communication Arts. General
education is the foundation for success in any profession.
As you explore our
Web site, be sure to read what our current and past students have to say
about us. Again we thank you for your interest in business education at
Marymount Manhattan and invite you to visit the college and attend one
of our classes. For more information or to arrange a visit call 212-517-0631.
