At Mount Saint Mary College, the curriculum aims to educate the whole person, emphasizing a liberal arts education in all its undergraduate programs, including those with an explicit career orientation. Undergraduates may choose from more than 47 academic programs. A teacher certification program prepares students to teach elementary, secondary or special education. In addition to formal coursework, Mount Saint Mary College enhances students' learning opportunities through regulated independent studies and internships. Cooperative education provides opportunities for students to combine classroom learning with practical work experience. Study abroad opportunities as well as a comprehensive honors program provide enriched learning experiences for Mount students. Mount Saint Mary College has recently introduced its first “Smart Classrooms” (16 online by the Fall of 1999) to smashing review by both the students and faculty. These classrooms have been designed to utilize the most modern technology in the presenting of instructional material. All instructors have available to them a laptop computer that can be used to develop their lecture presentations using programs such as core’s Presentations. Also available to the instructor are the capabilities to project materials on a large screen using ELMO (which replaces a conventional overhead and/or opaque projector and converts the image to digital form), and a professional quality VCR and DVD system that takes advantage of a sensor-round system. Along with being used for instructional purpose these rooms are used to show student films, for entertainment, and for closed circuit projections of college events. |
