Manhattan College - Enrollment Advisory Group

Manhattan College was founded in 1853 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a Catholic teaching order started by Saint John Baptist de La Salle. The Lasallian mission drives its focus on quality education for all and service to their neighbours in need. The picturesque campus is located in The Bronx, a 35-minute subway ride from the heart of Manhattan.

The College empowers exceptional graduates who not only go on to lead successful careers, but also make a positive impact in the world. Grounded in tradition, the transformative Jasper education is built on a strong liberal arts foundation and paired with hands-on, technical knowledge that evolves and adapts with the world. Guided by history, faith and strong leadership, Manhattan continues to climb in national rankings as a top-valued school.

Manhattan College offers the variety of programming for students that they might find at a large university, but with the personalized learning experience of a small, liberal arts school. It offers more than 100 majors, minors, graduate programs and advanced certificates, as well as degrees that can be earned fully online or combined with a traditional classroom experience.

At Manhattan, students will have the chance to make learning come alive through a variety of immersive, hands-on experiences in New York City and beyond. Many students choose to study abroad for a semester, conduct a research project one-on-one with a faculty member, or pursue an internship. Along the way, academic support services, tutoring sessions and career workshops will keep students on track to graduate and achieve success.

Nestled in the historic neighbourhood of Riverdale, the lovely main campus in the Bronx is close to dozens of restaurants and shops, as well as Van Cortlandt Park, one of New Yorks largest parks. Best of all, its only 35 minutes from midtown Manhattan. The unbeatable location offers a unique and safe way to take advantage of all New York City has to offer. Students will get a true college campus experience while also having easy access to the jobs and internships found in New York City, plus all of the amazing cultural experiences found in this city.
