Outside the Classroom
Mount Students See Opportunities as Boundless
A vibrant campus life is part of our mission. Students immerse themselves into a diverse and supportive community that changes the way they think and helps them realize what matters.
Students continually learn and grow, exploring new and exciting interests. Each club and organization has an advisor—made up of Mount faculty and staff—ready to help you foster valuable connections.
Whatever your passion—journalism, creative writing, acting, art, dance, cultural awareness, athletics, business, community service, environmentalism—there’s a club for you.
The Underground is the College’s literary magazine that has garnered submissions from contributors at colleges and universities around the globe.
Model U.N. offers a forum for students to address global concerns in a real-world context. Students attend conferences at Harvard University, Columbia University, and the University of Pennsylvania.
A Moment of Magic is a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that invites volunteers to dress as popular Disney characters and visit children in need—in hospitals, schools, camps, and social service agencies—throughout New York and across the country.
Leadership Development
The Student Government Association (SGA) is a body of students representing the full-time undergraduate and graduate populations. SGA provides an opportunity for all students to become involved in the governance of the College.
Support from the Oxley Integrated Advising Program begins on your first day at the Mount and continues through graduation. You’ll identify your strengths and interests, as well as the range of opportunities associated with them. The Oxley team will help you strategize your academic and professional options, preparing you to launch your career.
The Center for Undergraduate Research sponsors and supports students developing original research across the College. From psychology to genetics, students produce a wide range of nationally recognized projects and present it at national and international conferences.
At the Mount, we recognize the vital role internships play in your success after graduation. We connect our students with internship opportunities to explore their chosen field in one of the most diverse cities in the world. We’re just minutes from Manhattan, ensuring you’ll have access to internships at top businesses, entertainment companies, health care facilities, government agencies, and more.
Learning and Serving Around the World
Mount Saint Vincent’s study abroad programs broaden cultural and intellectual horizons and deepen students’ perspectives on their home country and the world.
We encourage students to live and learn in foreign countries to enhance their development as global citizens through a variety of semester-long and short-term programs. You can study Italian language courses in Rome, forecast economic trends in China, and even conduct research on agricultural technology in Greece.
The Mount’s study abroad programs unite nationally recognized academics with ethical service learning, creating greater access to high-quality international educational opportunities. Students can enroll in rigorous interdisciplinary courses, live with a host family, and benefit from placements with leading service organizations.
Students can pursue study abroad and service immersions in dozens of countries–from exploring the history and culture of the Andean Highlands to studying the hill tribes and elephant camps of Chiang Mai, our students’ experiences change the world for the better.
