You are creative and unique. You want to shout from the rooftops who you are and what you believe. You want to express yourself.

We’re here to listen, closely. 

We want to know about you: the real you. Not just the tests you took or the grades you got. Tell us a story—the story of YOU.

Zero in on a moment in your life that shows how you’ve changed or lets you reflect. Tell us what excites you, what you’ve thought deeply about, what you strive for. Most of all, focus on YOU—how you felt, what you experienced, why you were transformed. It’s you we’re interested in. It’s your story we’re excited to hear.

At MMC, you are not a set of academic credentials. You are a whole person, and you deserve to be seen and known.


Our goal is to ensure access and equity in our admission process by eliminating obstacles you may face when completing the application process. To this end, MMC is test-optional for Fall 2023 domestic applicants and will no longer require an application fee.

Note, this policy does not affect academic scholarship offerings. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admission.

One of the perks of being a Business student in NYC? The internships! Michelle Ledezma ’25 takes us along as she heads into her internship at the financial services company SMBC. A Finance and Management major and Economics and Accounting minor, Ledezma said the position and her courses keep her busy, but she loves how she's bridging her class work with real-world practice. "It's really nice that I can go to class and learn the principles and the foundation but then actually use them in my internship," she said. #GoGriffins #NYCCOLLEGE #accountingstudent #businessstudent

#MMCProud! Our extraordinary alums are doing extraordinary things! Here are some recent updates from the classes of 2023, 2019, 2016, and 2013. 🔵 Jasmine Ramos ’23 was a production assistant for "BARBA: A Brazilian Body Percussion Musical," which ran last month at the Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre. The show was featured in Playbill, BroadwayWorld Spain, and on Univisíon, and all five performances were sold out. 🔵 Mattie Love ’16 is performing with Madonna on The Celebration Tour! Dance Magazine recently interviewed Mattie; check the link in our bio for the story! 🔵 In January, Chelsea Pollack-DeRario ’13 was named VP, Head of U.S. People & Culture, for Axel Springer, which owns Business Insider, Politico, Morning Brew, and Insider Intelligence. She began her career in Human Resources and Recruiting at BuzzFeed in 2013 and was the head of People Operations at Cheddar Inc. before joining Axel Springer. 🔵 Tony Russo ’19 recently made his Off-Broadway debut in Qui Nguyen's drama-comedy "She Kills Monsters" and also served as the show's fight choreographer! 🔵 Dylan Randazzo ’16 is starring in his first Sondheim show, "Sunday in the Park with George" at @AxelrodArts now through March 24.

Check out these electrifying photos from @mmctheatrearts February production of IN TRANSIT. Be sure to swipe all the way to the end to see two of the musical’s writers (@sara.wordsworth and @jamez111) hanging out with the cast. They were gracious enough to attend the Sat production and stay afterward to chat. They were complimentary to everyone at MMC who put the production together and were impressed because they acknowledge how especially challenging this musical is. Major props to our theatre superstars! #MMCPROUD #GoGriffins #theatre #theatrestudent #NYCCOLLEGES

Dun dun! Griffins, there are a few good reasons to tune into the @NBCLawandOrder franchise: 📸 1-2. Nadia Brown '17 made her #lawandorder debut in last Thursday's episode "Last Dance." Stream it on @peacock! 📸 3-4. Assistant Theatre Arts Professor Aimé Donna Kelly has a recurring role in Season 25 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She plays the no-nonsense Captain Renee Curry. 📸 5. Speaking of the #Lawandorder universe, here's a throwback to last March when Raegan Taylor '25 snapped this pic of the show filming outside Carson Hall. Alums: Let us know if you're appearing on the show, too! �💙 ##GoGriffins

On this #GoodNewsFriday, we've got some great updates to share about MMC students! ★1-2: Senior BFA Dance major Kayla Kemp ’24 was featured on the "Today" show last week, as part of a flash mob celebrating the 40th anniversary of "Footloose." Fun fact about Kayla: In 2022, she received the prestigious Jeannette K. Watson Fellowship, which is awarded to just 15 undergraduates each year.  ★3: Senior MT major Katelyn Harold ’24 just booked her first regional contract! She'll be playing Francine in "Jersey Boys" at the @EngemanTheater this spring. And, with commencement around the corner, the rehearsal schedule allows her to finish all her classes and fulfill her credits. "This experience would not be possible without the support and training I’ve received throughout my time at MMC, and I’m so grateful," she said. ★4: Junior MT major Andrew Maroney ’25 will be spending the summer in Washington with @numericapac playing Lonny in "Rock of Ages." "It is an absolute honor to join this incredible group of creatives on my first professional contract," they said. "I cannot wait to get going with this amazing cast and creative team in just a few short months!" Congratulations! #MMCProud #GoGriffins
