Marymount Manhattan College is a small
undergraduate liberal arts school located in
New York City on
Manhattan’s
Upper East Side. Named by
U.S News College Report as the Most
Diverse Liberal Arts college in the country in
2003. Known best for its
performing and
communication programs.
MMC was originally a city branch of
Marymount College in
Tarrytown, New York until it became an
independent school in
1961, thus losing its
religious affiliation.
Students live a nice walk from
campus on the main
residence hall, a gigantic 45 story building on 55th Street. Among the many well established
actors,
dancers, writers and
filmmakers that
MMC has
graduated, they are also responsible for the
college education of
Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman ever
nominated for
Vice President of the United States of America.
