Mount Marty College is a small, Benedictine liberal arts college that was founded in 1936 by sisters of the Sacred Heart Monastery. Today, these sisters continue to live, work, and pray alongside students and staff. MMC offers small class sizes, faith-based learning, NAIA athletics, and year-round campus activities and events. Over 1,000 students of all religious faiths and backgrounds enroll at MMC each year. The school's academic catalog offers more than 28 undergraduate and graduate degrees, including studies in accounting, criminal justice, education, medical laboratory science, and recreation and tourism. Every student at MMC completes a core curriculum, known as the Benedictine Leadership Institute, which encourages exploration, service, and asking big questions. It also includes student trips to the Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon at no additional cost. To be considered for undergraduate admission, prospective MMC students must submit an application, official transcripts, and ACT or SAT scores.
