| About this School |
| Manhattan College is a Catholic college in the Lasallian tradition in New York City. In spite of the college's name, it is no longer located in Manhattan but in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York; while many scoff at this irony, the college is actually less than a mile from the northernmost point of Manhattan, which is at 228th Street and Broadway, 14 blocks (about 3/4 mile) south of the college which is located at 242nd Street and Broadway.
The college was founded in 1853 by five French LaSallian Brothers in a small building on Canal Street. When the need to expand forced them from Lower Manhattan, the College moved to 131st Street and Broadway, in the Manhattanville section of Harlem.
It became known as Manhattan College in 1863 and moved to its present location in Riverdale in 1922 as it outgrew its facilities in Manhattanville.
Originally exclusive to men, Manhattan College established a cooperative program with the College of Mount Saint Vincent with which it still shares some facilities and programs after the pair became coed in 1973 and 1974, respectively.
It also houses a public high school, the Jonas Bronck Academy, on the bottom floor of Hayden Hall, the primary residence of the Chemistry and Physics departments, named after the notable philanthropist Charles Hayden.
Manhattan College offers undergraduate programs in the arts, business, education, engineering, and science. Graduate programs are offered for education and engineering.
The school's men's and women's sports teams are called the Jaspers. All teams participate in the NCAA's Division I and in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Manhattan College has no football program. Manhattan College lays claim to the origin of Baseball's Seventh-inning stretch, though this has been largely debunked.
The mission of Manhattan College is to provide a contemporary, person-centered educational experience characterized by high academic standards, reflection on values and principles, and preparation for a life-long career. This is achieved in two ways: by offering students programs which integrate a broad liberal education with concentration in specific disciplines in the arts and sciences or with professional preparation in business, education and engineering; and by nurturing a caring, pluralistic campus community.
The learning experience at Manhattan College is enriched by cooperative programs with other institutions, by postgraduate professional programs and by capitalizing on its location on the edge of the cultural center and global marketplace that is New York City.
