Degree Planning

First, you should become familiar with some terminology. At Marymount, a student earns a degree by coursework in the following:
  • Liberal Arts Core – often referred to by Marymount's faculty and students as "core requirements." These are comparable to NOVA's general education electives. Read more about Marymount's Liberal Arts Core here.
  • Major Requirements – at NOVA, these are sometimes called "degree requirements"
  • Electives – general courses of the student's choice
Marymount offers majors in approximately 30 disciplines, as well as teaching certification in several areas.
