Academics
How will my classes be selected?
For first-year students, we use a process called Directed Self-Placement (DSP, for short) to help students choose the best courses for them. DSP asks students to reflect on their unique background, experience, and preparation for college-level work and then place themselves in the English and mathematics courses that seem most appropriate. Students will also have an opportunity to let us know some of their other interests and scheduling concerns. At SOS, students will review their schedule with an advisor and be able to make changes at that time.
Transfer students will have a chance to meet with an advisor to make a schedule. A student’s transfer credit evaluation will be reviewed to see what classes are needed to take at Marymount. Students will leave orientation with a schedule. Learn more about
transferring credit.
Where can I learn more about the different academic programs of study (majors)?
The University website offers information about each
program of study. The
Academic Catalog also has information about each of the different majors and programs.
