Academics

I am part of the Honors program at MU and take both normal and honors college courses, as well as an online course. Some classes definately require more work than others, but teachers are really good about making sure you get the help you need to succeed.

The academic rigor at Marymount is not terribly difficult, if you work cooperatively with your professors and always attend class and turn in assignments, you will get excellent grades. You must be willing to put in the work to get good grades at this school.

Here, we are expected to work hard to earn the best we can. The work can be overwhelming but it is most definitely rewarding. Professors and tutors are available at any time because everyone wants to see you succeed.

I've only attended mock classes during orientation so far, but it was great and very interactive with the professor and my classmates. I made friends in class without breaking any rules because we were encouraged to talk with each other! And the course list is neverending so you can always be academicall challenged.

I'm in the honor's program, so I've been so lucky to be able to study and learn so many interesting things. I love our small class sizes and it truly makes it so easy to get to know your professors while also getting to know the other students.
We also have the consortium, which gives you access to the other DC schools and their classes, for Marymount credit!

The class sizes are samll which is an advantage for the students. You are able to become involved in the class and are known by name verses a number. The smaller class size makes it easier to ask questions and not feel intimidated by being in a lareg lecture hall full of students.
