A Results-Oriented Education
We believe higher education elevates students' knowledge both academically and practically. That's why we offer 50+ undergraduate areas of study and 70+ graduate programs, degrees, and certificates reinforced by internships, career counseling, mentors, and networking opportunities. We call it outcomes-based learning.
In everything we learn, in everything we do, we’re involved in the world—studying it, exploring it, lifting it up, and making it our own. Since 1841, Manhattanville University’s overarching mission has been to educate students to be ethical and socially responsible leaders within a global community. Enter Manhattanville University and you will discover a warm, engaging community environment where you will be challenged to make your own personal contribution to society, either through service, commerce, or the arts.
At Manhattanville, rigorous academic preparation within a nurturing environment is matched by personalized attention to every student. Our close-knit community of 1,541 undergraduate students and 994 graduate students provides a diverse learning environment, with more than 35 states and 40 countries represented.
Manhattanville’s global perspective is enriched by its role as a non-governmental organization associated with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations. Select students have an opportunity to intern at the UN as well as study with an ambassador. Additionally, Manhattanville is truly known for its phenomenal internship programs. PepsiCo, MasterCard, HBO Productions, Morgan Stanley, VH1, NYU Medical, and Madison Square Garden are just a few of more than 670 places where our students have received invaluable hands-on experience. These opportunities set the foundation for a successful career after Manhattanville.
Campus life is as individual as you are. You can act in a theater class, work as an intern in Manhattan, practice yoga, join any of more than 50 clubs, or just hang out in the Student Center. Manhattanville has 22 Division III athletic teams, and the mascot is the Valiant. The Duchesne Center serves as the coordinator and catalyst for service learning, community outreach, culture, and leadership across the campus and around the world.
