Marymount Manhattan College is a coeducational, independent, private college located in Manhattan, New York City. The mission of the College is to educate a socially and economically diverse student body by fostering intellectual achievement and personal growth and by providing opportunities for career development. Enrollment consists of 1640 undergraduates, with women making up 76.1% and men 23.9%.〔 ==History== Directly from the college's website: Since 1961, Marymount Manhattan has been an independent, private college open to all creeds, while noting its foundation by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. While the college no longer described itself as Catholic, the Catholic Church continued to list it in the Catholic Directory until 2005. Unaware that the college did not claim to be a Catholic school, the Cardinal Newman Society protested the college's announcement of its decision to invite then-Senator Hillary Clinton to deliver a commencement address and to confer an honorary doctoral degree upon her,〔(College Honoring Clinton Declared 'No Longer Catholic', Catholic News Agency May 2, 2005 ) retrieved 12-29-08〕 due to Senator Clinton's longtime public support for abortion rights.〔 In response to the protests and without objection by the college, it was de-listed from "The Official Catholic Directory," which identifies Catholic institutions. In 1976, Finch College, a women's college best known as a "finishing school" for affluent young women, closed and passed its records over to the school. The school was most famous for educating Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of former US President Richard Nixon. In 2001, the College opened the 55th Street Residence Hall, which is one of the tallest dorms in the world,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=55th Street Residence Hall )〕 with 32 floors of student housing in a 46 story building. In 2005, more than 2,000 students were enrolled representing 48 U.S. states and 36 countries. In conjunction with its core liberal arts curriculum, Marymount Manhattan offers 19 major programs of study and 38 minors along with certificates and preprofessional programs. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 2013, the school was featured in the noted industry publication ''Backstage'' as one of the top colleges in which Broadway and Tony Award-nominated actors have trained, alongside Carnegie Mellon University, Oberlin Conservatory, University of Michigan, Ithaca College, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Want to Star on Broadway? 7 Colleges Where Tony Winners Trained )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marymount Manhattan College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
