Think an internshipwould be beneficial?

We agree.

A few places our students have interned in the past 5 years:

MMC faculty are passionate about finding meaningful internship opportunities for their

students. Our Career Center is another valuable resource available for assistance.

“To actually work hands-on in the nursing field so early really helped me understand the material we were learning in class. It gave me a good taste of what my future career would be like and assured me that I was makingthe right decision.”

“As the marketingmanager at KPI-JCI, I am responsible for working withparticipants of our internship program. We’ve had interns from various institutions, but the quality of students that have come to us from Mount Marty is exceptional. I don’t hesitate to give them challenging and difficult projects. I have yet to be let down, and I’m blown away by their abil ity to excel in the workplace.”

MINIMUM HOURS OF SERVICE BY EACH STUDENT

Do you want to be the kind of person employers seek out and others gravitate towards? Then give back.MMC students are continually involved in acts of service throughout the year. You will be able to

enhance your College and the greater Yankton community while building strong values, life skills, and

connections that last a lifetime. Plus, you’ll just feel good about yourself, and who doesn’t love that?

...and so much more. Bring your new, fresh ideas as well!

While we at Mount Marty College would like to say that each of those people come to visit our college, we have to give some credit to the incredible attributes Yankton has to offer.

From water recreation along the Missouri River and the Lewis and Clark Lake, to outdoor festivals, concerts and a historic downtown district, Yankton offers you a welcoming place to call home. Yankton’s thriving community continues to defy the national economic trend, adding new businesses each year that give students increased internship and service opportunities. These attributes make it an ideal location for our liberal arts college.

Some days you may just feel like staying home, too [home being campus, of course]. Located in the middle of our intimate campus, the Cyber Café is our central hub. You can indulge in your favorite Starbucks® creation, enjoy quick meals throughout the day, catch up with friends, or study in comfortable space. Just outside the doors are shaded picnic tables perfect for enjoying the fresh air and beautifully-landscaped green spaces.

At MMC, we strive to give you more than just an education. You are encouraged to grow and evolve holistically to ensure an experience that extends far beyond the classroom and leaves you with unforgettable memories and l ifelong relationships.

MMC’s history is shaped not only by its

Catholic Beneditcine values, but also its

location in South Dakota. Our history began

in 1876 when the Benedictine Abbot Martin

Marty became the Dakota Territory’s first

Catholic Bishop and missionary. In 1936,

the Sisters of Saint Benedict responded to

his presence and established Mount Marty

College in his name.

our rICh hIstory88% RECEIVE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS

Mount Marty College has a rich Benedictine history that is evident in our students, their organizations, and their determination to make positive changes in our community.

From academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, to service and faith, you will be immersed in our community —inspiring you to pursue your goals and be successful in anything you choose to do. Following graduation, our students are adaptable and are exceptional additions to the work force.

The idea of value extends beyond a monetary aspect. You will receive an outstanding education that prepares you for future options - the job market, graduate school, or internships. You will graduate with unparalleled opportunities because employers knowand continually comment on the preparation and skills our graduates possess.

At MMC, you truly won’t be just another face. Faculty and staff will know you by name and upon graduation you’ll leave as a member of the MMC family. You and your classmates will be invited to join our strong and proud Alumni Association, where you will continue to benefit from the connections and experiences made through the MMC community.
