                        Mount Vernon College


Mount Vernon College is located in Northwest DC near the intersection
of Reservoir and Foxhall Roads.  Traditionally a Liberal Arts school
for women, Mount Vernon now has coed evening, weekend, summer and
graduate programs.  A Mount Vernon College education is based on the
belief that liberal arts study is only one component of a liberal
education, career preparation, specialized study and field work all
play an integral part in a student's overall education.

Mt. Vernon is a member of the Consortium of Universities of the
Washington Metropolitan Area.  Students can take classes and use
resources offered by the eleven (11) other member institutions.

The Office of Career Development Work/Study Project is an innovative
program matching DC area employers and MVC students in work
partnerships.

The mission of the Work/Study project is to create practical work
experience that students can draw upon in both their educational and
professional careers, to provide opportunities for self-growth and to
explore the various areas of employment opportunities in the highly
competitive career fields of the 1990's.

Mount Vernon College Work/Study participants offer employers a
demonstrated highly educated work force to help you in the growth,
progress and achievements of your business.  Mount Vernon College
Students are varied.  From the fifty states and numerous foreign
countries they major in subjects which range from American Studies to
Business Administration.  A list of our majors and post-graduate
education programs can be found at the end of this message.
