Study Abroad
While New York City can spoil you with its international cachet, there are other great world cities to immerse yourself in. MMC offers a number of study abroad programs that transport you beyond the five boroughs of NYC. Does Paris entice you? What about London? Perhaps Greece or Italy? Choose your location and open yourself to cultural discovery and global perspectives.
The two main focuses within my IDS major were Costume Design and Film. Courses like Costume History and Costume Construction provided me with vital lessons on how clothing was made. During my study abroad experience in Italy, I took a photography class that helped improve my visual skills that could be carried over into film. The ability to, in a sense, hone my craft by choosing a diverse, yet integral, list of courses makes the IDS program so unique and rewarding.
Bianca Rogers ’13Class of 2013, Major in Interdisciplinary Studies
CTEM and its 1-on-1 approach has given me an unmatched creative foundation to develop my skills as an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker. The faculty is astounding and wants nothing more than to see their students succeed academically, artistically, and professionally. This program has given me insurmountable confidence in my abilities (and an irreplaceable sense of passion) that I will forever take with me into the professional world of entertainment!
Shelbi Cornelison ’22Class of 2022, Film and Media Studies major
“The JK Watson Fellowship application process has been an exciting and enriching experience. Although applying was not easy or free from anxiety, it allowed me to gain many useful skills such as resume building, communicating effectively during an interview, and how to present my value as a business person. I was initially interested in the Fellowship because of the working and hands-on experience it offered, but I came to be more excited about the idea of working with a carefully selected group of business people with a vision of their own.”
Ethan Giroux’ 23Class of 2023, BA Business Major with a concentration in Social Entrepreneurship and a Minor in Economics.
During my internship at KIND, I was part of the digital marketing team. Through this internship, I learned how to create briefs for paid influencers outlining the expectations and guidelines for each monthly post in keeping with the strategic goal. I really enjoyed the team meetings, because I learned so much about the planning and organization it takes to execute a project.
Yaritza Villegas ’19Class of 2019, Major: B.S. Marketing and Business, with a concentration in economics
Graduating with a double major in Business Economics and International Studies, and a minor in Asian Studies, my course work in Mandarin language and Chinese literature, business and history at Marymount has proved extremely relevant to the work I did at Christie’s, helping me to accomplish tasks such as the provenance research for ancient Chinese art.
