Advising

Because we’re smaller than some of our peer institutions, Manhattan College’s School of Engineering is able to offer more personal, one-on-one support to students. Engineering students have access to both academic advising and career advising.

  • Academic Advising

    As an engineering student, your academic advisor can assist you with:

    • Choosing a major
    • Scheduling your classes
    • Picking up a double major or a minor
    • Selecting the right courses for a specific career path
