In graduate school, it is imperative that you get the one-on-one academic support and professional mentorship that you deserve. At the Mount, we ensure that our graduate program cohort and class sizes are small, allowing you to connect with professors and industry professionals and receive individual attention and mentorship that will help you get the most out of your graduate education.
You will leave the Mount with professional connections that will guide and support you as you navigate the workforce for years to come.
Each individual’s professional path is unique, and for this reason, we make it possible for many of our graduate students across academic programs to choose various specializations or areas of emphasis, depending on their individual interests.
For instance, students in our MFA program in Film, Television and Photography have numerous concentration, certificate and dual degree programs to choose from — all designed for specific student needs and career trajectories.
Further, our graduate psychology students are given the opportunity to prepare for licensure (such as Marriage and Family Therapy) — depending on their long term psychology career goals.
