MSC is place where students can live and learn in a supportive, safe, and friendly environment. These programs are designed to welcome new students and their parents by providing an introduction to the Mount Senario College community. Orientation includes testing, academic advising, assistance in scheduling, library information, and an introduction to the liberal arts tradition. Social occasions provide an opportunity to become acquainted with fellow students and faculty. Selected juniors and seniors assist in planning and implementing the program.
New students receive an orientation schedule in the mail prior to the start of the semester.
The Career Development Services, located in the Dean of Students office, assists students and alumni to identify capabilities, interests, skills, and acquired knowledge as they examine career options. All aspects of career planning and placement are available to students and alumni including help with writing resumes, job applications, and requests for reference letters. Graduating students are encouraged to register early with Career Development Services in order to prepare their credential files. Employment listings are posted and available to students and the general public. The counseling staff can provide confidential help to both individuals and groups.
