Part-Time Jobs Around Mount St. Mary’s University

Mount St. Mary’s students combine on-campus employment, Frederick County retail and childcare roles and—where visa rules allow—summer internships in Baltimore or D.C. with sublet planning.

International students must confirm F-1 employment rules with International Student Services before starting any job.

Where To Search

Students can search through:

• Handshake
• Frederick County government and nonprofit job boards
• Indeed “part-time Emmitsburg” or “Frederick MD”
• Faculty emails for research assistant stipends

Budget fuel or carpool—public transit to D.C. is limited from Emmitsburg without driving to Metro first.

Practical Advice For International Students

Before applying for part-time jobs, students should:

• Attend international student employment orientation
• Secure CPT before major-related off-campus internships
• Plan winter tyres or rides if commuting to clinicals

Best Approach For September 2026 Students

Students arriving for the September 2026 intake should secure on-campus work in August, then add CPT once DSO paperwork is predictable.
