you prepare for, and gain admission to, law school.
What
does it mean to be an undecided
major?
If
you enter the College as an undecided major,
you’ll be in good company; half of our incoming
students haven’t yet settled on a major. All
students at the Mount take core
curriculum courses, giving them the opportunity to
explore all different types of academic programs. They
declare a major after their sophomore year.
How

Our nursing program is extremely
well regarded, and our students have had great success.
In fact, a large majority of our graduates pursue masters
education in nursing.
Do you have a program to help students with learning
disabilities?
We don’t have any programs
specifically targeted to students with learning
disabilities, but our academic support
services office offers a range of free services for
all students. Services here include study skills classes,
tutoring, peer tutoring, a writing center, and more.
Do you have an honors
program?
Yes. Our honors program offers
challenging classes and a variety of dynamic learning
experiences, including independent research and creative
projects. Students who earn the Erasmus Scholarship at
the time of their admission are expected to participate
in the honors program.
Do you offer any five-year
bachelor’s/master’s programs?

to earn a bachelor’s and a master’s in
