Manhattan College

Established in 1853, Manhattan College has a storied history. Today, the college identifies as a Catholic college in the Lasallian tradition. Manhattan College’s main focus has been the education of the disadvantaged, a commitment evident in Manhattan’s diverse student body, many of whom are the first in their families to attend college. An independent Catholic institution of higher learning that is open to qualified men and women of all faiths, cultures, and traditions, the mission of Manhattan College is to provide a person-centered educational experience that prepares graduates for lives of professional success, civic engagement, personal development, and service to their fellow human beings. The college offers programs that integrate a broad liberal education with concentration in specific disciplines in the arts and sciences or with professional preparation in business, engineering, and education.
