Manhattanville
College

Only 28 miles from New York City, Manhattanville College's 100
acre campus is located in a lovely residential area. Manhattanville
prides itself on small, interactive classes - averaging 13 students
- that involve, engage, and challenge participants. Classes
are taught by professors, not graduate assistants and many faculty
members actually live on campus, providing a nurturing environment
and additional academic support.With New York City only a short
ride away, cultural opportunities are endless, and internships
are potentially available at prestigious organizations such
as NBC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Mayor's office,
the United Nations, and Chase Bank, among others.
