| About this School |
| Marymount Manhattan College is a liberal arts college located in Manhattan, New York City, New York. It's often referred to as MMC.
Marymount Manhattan College was founded in 1936 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary as a two-year women's college and a New York City extension of Marymount College, Tarrytown in Tarrytown, New York. In 1948 the College moved to its present location on 71st Street and became a four-year bachelor degree-granting college; the first class graduated from MMC in 1950. In 1961 MMC was granted an absolute charter as an independent four-year college by the Regents of the University of the State of New York.
Faithful to the vision of its founders, Marymount Manhattan has a long history of reaching out to diverse populations in need of higher education. Originally the College served women, many of whom were commuting students of traditional college age. Over the years, Marymount Manhattan's mission as an urban, independent, coeducational nonsectarian liberal arts college has expanded to include a greater variety of students, including men, nontraditional students, and students from a variety of ethnic and geographic backgrounds.
In 2005 more than 2,000 students were enrolled representing 44 U.S. states and 31 countries. In conjunction with its core liberal arts curriculum, Marymount Manhattan offers 16 major programs of study, along with numerous minors, certificates and preprofessional programs. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Geraldine Ferraro '56, who ran for the United States Vice Presidency alongside Walter Mondale in 1984, is a well-known graduate of Marymount Manhattan. New York Senator and former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton gave the commencement address for graduating class of 2005.
