Manhattanville College encourages students to consider enriching their undergraduate academic experience through study off campus or abroad. The director of Study Abroad works with the Provost and the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences to assist students in researching study abroad possibilities. There are literally hundreds of options for study abroad through reputable American and foreign institutions in countries around the world for which students can receive academic credit. For students with high G.P.A.’s (at least 3.2) there exists the possibility of acceptance to one of the Manhattanville “cooperative programs.”
Applications for both the Fall and Spring of the following academic year must be submitted by the Spring deadline of the previous academic year.

Students pay what they normally pay for tuition every semester at Manahttanville College (all institutional and federal money is available). Students are billed directly by their study abroad program/university and are responsible to pay the cost of the room and board of the host academic institution.
Opportunity is limited to only two students per year per exchange program! Highly competitive.
“Cooperative” Study Abroad Programs
Cooperative study abroad programs are options for study abroad through reputable American and foreign institutions in countries around the world with which we have an affiliation agreement and/or are offered by a third-party provided for which students can receive academic credit. For students with solid G.P.A.’s (at least 3.0) there exists the possibility of acceptance to one of the Manhattanville “cooperative programs.” All students desiring to study abroad must visit and be listed with the Office of Study Abroad.

All students must pay Manhattanville tuition for the semester abroad.
Students are eligible to receive a maximum $10,000 of their Manhattanville aid towards the actual tuition cost of tuition at Manhattanville. All reminder balances on total cost of Manhattanville tuition must be paid to Manhattanville.
Federal and/or state aid and loans can be applied to the cost of the remaining balance of Manhattanville tuition. If outside funding exceeds the cost of Manhattanville tuition, students have access to the remainder of that money to use toward the housing (room & board) cost of the study abroad program.
Once students pay Manhattanville tuition, Manhattanville will pay the tuition cost of the student's study abroad tuition.
Students need to be aware of their financial commitment for room and board while abroad. All students are financially responsible to pay for the room and board costs of their study abroad program. Thus, there is no housing cost to Manhattanville for that semester abroad.
Field Studies Programs
A new movement within the study abroad opportunity for college students is the “field studies programs” which take students out of the traditional classroom emphasizing interdisciplinary field study throughout the world in such areas as: environmental studies, public health, social justice, human rights, the natural sciences and cultural studies.
SIT Study Abroad: “offers a wide variety of programs throughout the world, with each program’s curriculum designed around a theme. This theme, examined in an interdisciplinary manner, provides a central focus for the classroom studies and independent study project”—within the arts, cultural studies, global concerns, development and environmental studies, gender issues, peace and conflict studies, and social justice.
The International Partners for Service-Learning and Leadership (IPSL): “programs integrate academic studies with volunteer service and full cultural immersion to give the student a deeper, more meaningful study abroad experience.” IPHL aims to help the student “become more civically engaged, inter-culturally literate, internationally aware, and responsive to the needs of others.”
The School of Field Studies: Environmental Field Study Abroad (SFS): “students work together with host communities around the world to learn real environmental problem solving skills. Hands-on field experience, practical and transferable research skills, and cross-cultural awareness are only a few of the benefits of [SFS]’s programs.” Students will have the opportunity to “develop leadership skills, build self-confidence, and discover the vital role [they] can play in the larger global community.
“Non-cooperative” Study Abroad Programs
For students who cannot meet the criteria of the cooperative programs, many “independent” possibilities exist. In contrast to Manhattanville’s cooperative programs, students on independent programs are not able to take their Manhattanville institutional aid. Financing independent programs relies entirely on the student’s federal or state financial aid and personal funds. Credits for non-cooperative programs will be issued as transfer credits only in block format; individual courses and grades will not appear on the transcript.

Internships
The Manhattanville Internship Program offers students an important link between the academic and professional worlds. The College’s location in southern Westchester County, near New York City and Fairfield County, Connecticut, offers easy access to many nearby corporate, governmental and not-for-profit organizations, where students gain valuable experience in internships that complement their course work. The Center for Career Development assists students as they identify and apply for internship opportunities.
In order to be eligible to register an internship for credit, students must have the following requirements:
- Completed 30 credits of coursework
- Declared their major
- Must be a matriculated student
After completing 30 credits, students can integrate their academic studies with supervised work experiences by doing an internship on a part-time basis during the academic year or on a full or part-time basis during the summer for academic credit. Students usually register for internships under their major departments and must secure a faculty advisor from that department. Working with their faculty advisor, students identify learning objectives and formulate an academic project related to the internship. The Center for Career Development also supports students in a variety of ways during their internship course and acts as a liaison between the student and employer. A maximum of nine internship credits may be applied to the degree.
Internships for International Students
For Manhattanville’s international students, the Internship Program enhances the experience of studying abroad. In addition to the benefits of enriching course work with practical experience, internships provide international students with an introduction to U.S. businesses and professions. To be eligible for an internship, students must declare a major and complete 30 credits. The Office of International Student Services works closely with the Center for Career Development to ensure that all legal requirements are satisfied in arranging internships for international students.
