Information Technology
Online Access
All Mount St. Mary’s students receive online access to course and account information, libraries and research opportunities through the University’s academic portal. Information is provided to students on portal access when they register for courses. Mount e-mail is essential for adequate communication with the faculty and administration and for important notices sent out periodically from the Continuing Studies programs. All Mount information from the division will be sent to students at their Mount e-mail address.
Mount Web Portal
The Mount Portal (portal.msmary.edu) is a Web portal that allows students to access enhanced services both inside and outside the Mount campus. Students can access course material, view a professor’s web page, view their grades and make account payments, all through this site. To access this site, students must have a Mount e-mail account (login and password are mailed to students upon registering for classes). For more information, contact the Mount information technology department at 301-447-5220.
Career Center
Career Center and Graduate/Professional School Preparation
The University offers various programs of study in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. These courses have been designed to offer an excellent liberal education, to prepare students for careers in the professional or business worlds, and to enable them to gain admission to professional or graduate schools.
Career Center
The Career Center builds opportunities for students and alumni to take an active role in their career development through career and graduate school counseling, educational programming, such as internships, and employer services. Our mission is to assist every Mount student, past and present, with the task of articulating their journey to become ethical leaders who live significantly.
The Career Center offers a comprehensive program to assist students and alumni in addressing career concerns and options to be successful in today’s global economy. Services include, but are not limited to, career counseling, self-assessment inventories, assistance with cover letters and résumés, interview preparation, on-campus interviews, job fairs, graduate school search strategies and other job search strategies.
Additionally, organizations and graduate/professional schools are increasingly requiring candidates to have relevant experiences. With this in mind, the Career Center assists students in discerning their vocation and gaining practical experience to complement their educational pursuits by managing internships and other experiential education opportunities in local, regional, national and international offices. Internships are highly recommended throughout all majors and are centralized through the Career Center.
The Career Center strives to support all Mount students and alumni through the transition from academic learning to their lives as productive, responsible citizens.
