That decision was crucial to my being able to accomplish my goal to graduate within 3 years. It allowed me to choose the classes in my concentrations that I was most interested in. It also gave me the flexibility to be able to work and intern, while I was taking classes.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of getting a degree from MU was the internship for credit program. Being able to intern and gaining invaluable experience, while fulfilling a graduation requirement and getting credits, definitely propelled me to where I am today in the U.S. Senate as an Executive Assistant. Overall, Marymount is an excellent college for transfer students, focusing on career readiness and offering flexible majors that allow students to work and intern while completing their degree.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"threecolumn-container container-fluid-inner\" style=\"margin-left: 0px;\">\n<div class=\"row col-condensed white-background\">\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumndarkbluebox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/Admissions\/Visiting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a376af.png\"> Schedule a Visit<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumnorangebox\"><a href=\"\/Admissions\/First-Year-Students\/Applying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a46f26.png\"> First Year Start Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumnbluebox\"><a href=\"\/Admissions\/Transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a55e24.png\"> Transfer To MU<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumncyanbox\"><a class=\"ContactFormDialog\" title=\"\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"35\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a64b8b.png\"> Email Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumndarkbluebox\"><a title=\"\" href=\"tel:7035225600\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a757ac.png\"> Let&#8217;s Talk 703-522-5600<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col3box\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"threecolumnorangebox\"><a title=\"Back to Top\" href=\"#top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/img_5f89ea8a896ab.png\"> Back to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<p>.container-fluid-inner{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}<br \/>\n.white-background{background-color: #f0f0f0;}<\/p>\n<div class=\"pagecontent\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff; padding-top: 2%; padding-bottom: 2%;\">\n<div id=\"map\" class=\"container-fluid container-fluid-inner\">\n<div class=\"row col-condensed\" style=\"background-color: #042742;\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4 img-pad\">\n<div class=\"youtube-iframe-container content0\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 text-pad\">\n<div class=\"title-info\">\n<h1 style=\"color: #63b1e5;\"><b>MAP IT!<\/b><\/h1>\n<h4 class=\"popup-h4\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>ISAIAH CURETON, \u201917 B.B.A.<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"popup-h4\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Economics with International Studies and Sustainability Concentration<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-fluid container-fluid-inner\">\n<div class=\"row col-condensed\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12 white-background\">\n<p class=\"popup-p\">Isaiah explored five study abroad programs and worked full time his senior year on Capitol Hill for a U.S. senator while earning his bachelor\u2019s in Business Administration in three years.

As a senior, she learned about astrobiology and the possibility of interning at NASA. She explains, \u201cMarymount invited me to come out of my comfort zone.\u201d Dr. Todd Rimkus, chair of Department of Biology &amp; Physical Sciences, encouraged her to participate and mentored her through her first study-abroad \u2013&nbsp;an experience that helped build her confidence enough to later on apply for the NASA internship.

My capstone project is a pop-up park and caf\u00e9 that allows users to enjoy a park-like atmosphere during the winter season, offering food at the caf\u00e9 during the day and cocktails at the bar at night.
