#Northeastern has formally entered into a merger agreement with #MarymountManhattanCollege in New York City. As you may know, Marymount Manhattan is a liberal arts college located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with a broad range of undergraduate degree offerings. While #MMC is most known for its performing arts programs, the college offers 34 different majors in fields ranging from psychology to marketing to behavioral neuroscience. In its most recent academic plan, MMC placed great emphasis on interdisciplinary and experiential learning—a wonderful alignment with Northeastern’s core strengths. The merger has been approved by the governing boards of both institutions, subject to final approval by state and federal regulators. The new entity will be Northeastern University – New York City.
