Manhattanville College was founded in 1841 as a Catholic college for women. While we have been co-educational and non-denominational since 1971, we are still committed to our 159-year tradition as a value-oriented liberal arts college.

Our mission: to educate students to become ethically and socially responsible leaders for the global community.

We are committed to doing that by:

  • Ensuring the intellectual, ethical and social development of each student within a community of engaged scholars and teachers;
  • Encouraging each student to apply his or her development as an independent leader and creative thinker, to career and personal goals; and
  • Providing a diverse campus community whose members know, care about and support each other and actively engage the community beyond.
