International Student Requirements

Our location in New York, America's most international city, combined with our family-like community and small campus make Manhattan University an ideal location for international students.

Thank you for considering Manhattan University.  We appreciate the effort it takes for international students and their families to navigate the school-choice process and we are here to assist.

We are a rolling admissions office with two intakes (fall and spring).

Completed international applications can receive a decision and a scholarship award within five days of submission.
