Is Mount Marty College the place for me?
Although this is, of course, and should be a very personal
decision, we believe that there are many reasons that make MMC stand out above
the rest.
One of the things that current students and alumni
consistently confirm is the friendly and caring atmosphere here at MMC. MMC
provides the kind of college environment that helps you excel and ensures your
success because you are NOT lost in the crowd. Faculty and staff know you by
name. They take a personal interest in your success - academically and
personally.
MMC offers a unique values-based education that connects our
students with our Benedictine tradition while serving those of all faiths by
fostering positive moral, spiritual, and social values. Our values shape who our
students are and what they go on to contribute to the world, both personally and
professionally.
The technology available at MMC is also a major benefit to
our students. All full-time students receive a laptop to use on our wireless
campus. With these smart classrooms, Blackboard software and more, our students
have the best opportunities to take advantage of the latest technology in
learning. Our campus is totally connected... so you can be, too!
Not only this, but MMC is also a wonderful investment in your
future! We are dedicated to making quality education affordable. When measuring
the cost of your education, you must consider both the price and the value. MMC
delivers VALUE in that our reputation for excellence assures that when you
graduate, you will possess the knowledge and skills that are in demand. With a
95% placement rate and the ability to graduate within four years, the success of
our graduates is the best way to measure the true worth of your investment in a MMC education.
Is this all that makes MMC special? We don't think so - it
only scratches the surface. We challenge you to find out for yourself if MMC is
the place for you!

What are the admission requirements at MMC?
Of course, the
requirements do vary slightly depending on your educational background;
however, applicants are generally eligible for acceptance if they have a 2.0 GPA
(high school or college), 18 ACT, 830 SAT, or GED average score of 500.
The best way to find out how MMC can serve you is to apply and request for all official transcripts (high school and college, if
applicable) be sent to MMC for consideration. We have a rolling admission
policy and can inform you of your status as soon as we have all the necessary
information.

and graduate students which go into much greater
detail as to the procedures for admission to MMC.

How do I apply for financial aid?
Financial assistance is an important part of every college
planning process. Therefore, it is always a good idea to start the process
as soon as possible.
Since MMC is not able to complete a financial aid package, or
even an estimate, for a prospective student who is not yet admitted, it is
imperative to follow the steps to gain admission as soon as possible once you
have marked MMC as a consideration.
Then, the next major step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). It is highly recommended that this form be completed online
as it significantly helps to expedite the awarding process.
Please be sure the check out the extensive information
offered by our Financial Aid Office for more details on the steps of the financial aid process and other sources of
financial assistance.

How can I schedule a campus visit to MMC?
We love visitors! We also believe that visiting a
college is one of the best ways possible to truly find out if it is a good fit
for you! We try to offer many opportunities for you to experience our
campus atmosphere including Campus Visit Days,
Career Days, Scholarship Days and more!
At the same time, we understand that sometimes these dates don't
always fit into busy schedules or meet every person's individual needs.
Therefore, prospective students are always welcome and encouraged to schedule
individual visits at any time that are more conducive to schedules or if they
prefer to experience a more individualized visit.

What student services are offered at MMC?
MMC cares about the success of our students - this goes way
beyond academics and what you can learn in the classroom. We have
something very special to offer - a community who cares about each other's
intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual growth. Students are invited to
become an integral part of this community by participating in the total
educational experience.
In order to help that happen, MMC tries to serve the needs of
our students in every way possible. The Learning Center offers tutoring to
assist students in achieving their best in the classroom. Our Health
Services are there to assist our students who might not be feeling well.
Campus Activities assist in helping students to network, develop leadership
skills and find fellowship. And these just scratch the surface. The Student Life environment at MMC is rich and lively -
take part in that experience!

How can I ask a student a question?
Sometimes there are questions that a current student can simply answer best.
Often, when prospective students visit our campus, they will have the
opportunity to meet current MMC students and ask them questions through a
student panel or while taking a campus tour.
However, if there is a question that you would like to ask now, please feel free
to ask a MMC student a question.

What are the residence halls like?
Living in the dorms is a significant part of having a
truly fulfilling college experience. The dorms become your "home away from
home" and you will find that many of your dorm mates soon become like family -
or at least friends that will last a lifetime.
Students have full access to technology within their rooms
through the laptop program which makes studying and researching easy. The
recreation and amenities available in the dorms make life comfortable and fun!
Check out residence life to get all the
details on how the on-campus living experience helps our students to grow and
learn, academically and personally.
