Manhattanville College is a small, private liberal arts institution dedicated to academic excellence, purposeful education, and social justice. Located 30 miles from New York City on a 100-acre suburban campus in the heart of bustling Westchester County, Manhattanville enables easy access to robust entertainment offerings, educational resources, and business opportunities for its primarily residential and diverse student body. The College serves approximately 1,500 undergraduate students and 1,000 graduate students from more than 44 countries and 33 states.

Founded in 1841, the college offers more than 75 undergraduate and graduate areas of study in the arts and sciences, education, nursing, health sciences, business, and creative writing, as well as continuing and executive education programs. Graduate students can choose from more than 70 graduate and certificate programs. Extracurricular offerings include more than 45 clubs and 20 NCAA Division III teams. The Center for Inclusion was established in 2017 to foster a campus culture that supports, values, and respects every Manhattanville student, faculty and staff; regardless of race, class, gender, age, sexual preference, abilities, nationality, religion, or beliefs. The Center supports underrepresented student groups and organizations, such as, but not limited to, BIPOC students, LGBTQ+ students, and women. The Center provides programming and workshops, student advocacy and outreach to the larger Manhattanville community. In 2020, the position of Chief Diversity Officer was created and the college has since developed a Road Map for its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts.

The college is ever-evolving to meet the needs of the job market including through providing opportunities in professional education. In the past two years the college opened the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and the Center for Design Thinking which offers all Manhattanville students the opportunity to gain real-world problem-solving skills that are in demand. Most recently, the college announced the addition of a Radiologic Technology program.

Manhattanville has a long-standing tradition of providing opportunities in social mobility. The college is ranked number 11 in top performers of social mobility by U.S. News & World Report. Manhattanville has been designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education.

The college opened the Center for Design Thinking in 2019, offering all Manhattanville students the opportunity to gain real-world problem-solving skills that are in demand in today’s ever-changing job market. Just 30 miles from downtown Manhattan, the heart of New York City, the Center for Career Development connects students and graduates to jobs all over the New York Metropolitan area.

The college made international news this past year as one of the first colleges in the country to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for its community of students, faculty and staff. The college also received regional attention for being among the first and only colleges in the New York area to hold in-person commencement ceremonies since 2019. In-person ceremonies were held for the classes of 2020 and 2021.
