Why Mount St. Mary’s Model Matters

The Mount expects integrated formation—intellectual, spiritual and physical. International students should map CPT internships with theology course loads and athletic travel calendars.

Global And Career Opportunities

Frederick County’s biotech, defence contracting and nonprofit sectors hire interns. Baltimore and D.C. expand options for summer sublets when housing is arranged.

How To Make The Most Of Mount St. Mary’s

Students should:

• Complete one service immersion before junior year
• Secure two internships with measurable policy or clinical outcomes
• Join one leadership organisation aligned to career goals
• Practise elevator pitches with career staff monthly

The Mount rewards students who treat formation as professional preparation, not a side requirement.
