Finding the Right Program

Choosing a new career path is challenging and sometimes daunting, but the payoff can be limitless. Taking the first steps is the most important part. Again, we are here to help! If you are interested in meeting with a Graduate Admissions Counselor and know what program(s) you are considering, request graduate information on a specific program by following the link or email us at graduateadmission@msj.edu.

 

If you are not sure what program would be right for you, we are happy to talk you through your options. Please call us at 512-244-4531 and ask to speak to any available Graduate Admissions Counselor (for graduate programs) or Adult & Transfer Admission Counselor (for undergraduate programs).

 

Support Services & Resources for Students

When you are a Mount student (graduate or undergraduate), you will have access to a variety of support services and resources to make getting your degree as painless as possible. Amenities include free parking, 24-hour access to campus facilities, career advising, writing consultation/support, use of the Schmidlapp Childrens Center, access to on-campus counseling services and the Wellness Center, and more!

The Mount offers flexible plans for both Dining Services and Graduate Student Housing. Offering meal plans for both commuter students and students living on campus, this is a great option if you (and/or a friend!) are in need of a quick meal before class. If you are interested in living on campus, Residence Life can accomodate a variety of contract lengths based on your needs. The second floor of the Seton Southeast is reserved exclusively for graduate students.
