BA IN BUSINESS
Our BA in Business is a one-of-a-kind program designed for
students who want to combine art, performance, fashion, or
social good with business savvy. We offer six concentrations
that prepare students for an array of successful careers,
ranging from art, theatre, and nonprofit administration to
marketing, management, and fashion.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION Our program
prepares you for a career as an influencer of consumer
communication and behavior. Upon graduation, you’ll be
fully equipped to take your career in any number of directions,
including advertising, public relations, or digital marketing.
ECONOMICS This globally-focused concentration is ideal
for students interested in learning how companies and nations
make economic decisions that affect consumers and citizens.
Our graduates pursue advanced degrees, work in global
industries, and serve international nonprofits.
FASHION MARKETING This business-focused
concentration will prepare you to understand the complexities
of the fashion industry. Learn how to develop, market, and
distribute fashion products to the right consumer, and how to
establish a socially responsible and sustainable business. Your
experience will be enriched by guest speakers, field visits to
companies, and events.
LEADERSHIP Learn to think critically about a business or
industry’s responsibility to employees, customers, communities,
and the environment. Internships and experiential learning will
equip you to assume a management-track role in a business,
nonprofit, NGO, or social service agency.
MEDIA AND ARTS MANAGEMENT Leverage your
passion for the performing arts or new media into a sustainable
career in the arts. Under NYC’s bright lights, you’ll have rich,
inspiring learning experiences. Take in performances, meet
with company directors, and complete challenging internships
at organizations both on and off Broadway and at other cultural
institutions.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Engage in a handson
program that puts technological and creative resources at
your disposal to successfully start your own social enterprise.
Whether your goal is an MBA, a job in venture capital,
managing a community organization, or becoming a serial
entrepreneur, you’ll develop the skills and experience to do
good and do well.
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
“During my time
at MMC, I interned
at Clarins Group,
Lolabean Jewelry,
and at BAM
Communications.
The Business Division
at MMC did more
than just educate me and prepare me
for post-graduation; they encouraged
me to push myself to see my full
potential and follow my dreams. I am
forever grateful to have had such kind,
intelligent, and supportive mentors.
I applied and was accepted to three
graduate schools in London: Imperial
College London, King’s College
London, and Queen Mary’s University.
I will be attending Imperial College
London, ranked the #2 Master’s
program in Marketing in the world.”
