Academics

## The Kakos School of Arts and Sciences

The Kakos School of Arts and Sciences is the largest of Manhattan University’s three schools, offering 33 undergraduate majors, six graduate programs, and six combined degrees across the humanities, natural and social sciences, and professional fields. Grounded in the University’s Lasallian Catholic mission and located near the heart of New York City, the School pairs rigorous academics with small classes, close faculty mentorship, and real-world experience throughout the five boroughs and beyond. That foundation delivers: Manhattan University ranks in the top 3% nationally for salary impact (*Wall Street Journal*, 2026), a measure of how strongly a degree here translates into graduates’ career earnings.
