About

Marymount Manhattan College is a tight-knit liberal arts institution located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, nationally renowned for its standout programs in the performing arts—particularly musical theatre, acting, and dance—as well as communication and media studies. The academic experience combines small, personalized class sizes with instruction from actively working industry professionals, bridging traditional liberal arts with pre-professional training. Student life is dynamic and independent, defined by an ambitious, creative culture that utilizes New York City as an extended campus for high-level internships, networking, and direct pipelines to Broadway and the media industry.

As of 2020, enrollment consisted of 1,571 undergraduate students with women making up 80% and men 20%.
