A launching pad for careers, a location for experiences.
You're going to hear the following from every school, so your job is to do your research and see who really means it, every day, every way:
Your Marymount education is powered by our absolute commitment to learning both by thinking and experiencing. You will have valuable internships. You will have faculty who have made their names and reputations in the real world. You will be minutes from one of the world's most important and exciting business, arts, financial and political centers.
You will have terrific opportunities for study and service abroad, from quick hops to semester-long adventures. You will be a vocal participant in dynamic, small classes (even if that's not your style now, it will be - trust us). You will be asked to lead, to stretch yourself, to scare yourself a little—and you will have the got-your-back support that gives you the total confidence to step up.
Most important of all, learning with purpose at Marymount means you will be prepared not just for a career, but for all the didn't-see-that-coming twists and turns your career will take you on the path that marks a fulfilling and contributing life. To us, success means doing well and doing good. Careers with meaning, lives with purpose. Do you agree?
Service, ethics, responsibility and welcoming, values-based education in the Catholic tradition.
So what does all that really mean? That your Marymount education will be rich in valuable experiences that also serve the wider community. That you will live and learn with respect in a community representing all backgrounds and faiths—as just a single example, one in every 10 Marymount students is Muslim. And it means that as much care and energy will be devoted to your spiritual (however you define it) development as your intellectual development.
At Marymount, we believe that skills are nothing without values, that knowledge must be fueled by compassion and that no one can ever afford to stop learning. All of us in the Marymount community believe that if you want your future to mean something, your education will never be over.
Again, seriously valuable preparation for a life of purpose and success.
So much more: fun, friends, discoveries, life.
We've used this brochure to try to tell you something about our core beliefs at Marymount. Here's another huge one: your education and your life should have as much adventure as challenge, as much play as work, as many new friends as new experiences.
It all begins with our best-of-both-worlds location, just minutes from our nation's capital. Hop on the Metro and take advantage of everything this amazing city has to offer, from an internship on Capitol Hill or one of the national museums to catching some sun hanging out on the Mall. From grabbing pizza in historic Georgetown, to going a little farther afield and exploring the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay. Then, come home to a friendly, peaceful, convenient, leafy campus perfect for sustainable living and learning.
Get your game on with Marymount Saints athletics. There are 19 NCAA Division III teams for men and women, plus endless recreational opportunities on campus - with intramural and club sports, great fitness facilities and programs and recreational clubs, classes and activities.
As you can guess, Marymount offers some amazing places to live and learn with purpose, from residence hall rooms featuring views of the National Cathedral and other landmarks to brand-new apartment-style buildings offering every amenity.
Okay—enough words. But there's so much more to the Marymount experience! Please visit marymount.edu and get more of the story. And of course, visit Marymount in person if you can. Nothing beats making it real. We hope to see you soon.
Student Spotlight
“Marymount invited me to come out of my comfort zone,” says Maria Camarca of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
As a result, she’ll spend the summer analyzing the chemical makeup of comets during a internship at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
“I feel like the past year has been full of so many blessings from so many people who helped me understand that this was something that wasn’t out of my reach.”
- Maria Camarca, Class of 2017
