International Programs

Four-Year Degree Program

Located on breathtakingly beautiful 60-acre campus, in one of Boston's most elegant suburbs, PMC provides a high-quality education in small, interactive classes taught by thoughtful and accomplished professors.

Students often say PMC is their home away from home because of our supportive and diverse community and active International Student Club. US News and World Report, in its America’s Best Colleges 2009 edition, ranked PMC as #1 in diversity among BA liberal arts colleges in the nation.

International students receive support in many ways:

  • PMC’s International Admissions Counselor assists with questions about the admissions process, academics, student life, scholarships, and more.
  • PMC’s International Student Advisor assists international students with immigration, personal, and academic issues.
  • The International Student Club (ISC) helps students feel connected and share their cultures within the PMC community.
  • The Learning Resource Center (LRC) provides professional tutoring at no extra cost to assist students with writing, study skills, and other subjects.
  • PMC’s First Year Seminar Program helps students transition to the College with an advising group made up of an academic advisor and classmates.
