“Cooperative” Study Abroad Programs
Manhattanville College encourages students to consider enriching their undergraduate academic experience through study abroad. The director of Study Abroad works out of the Office of Academic Affairs and assists 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 3.0) there exists the possibility of acceptance to one of the Manhattanville “cooperative programs.” All student desiring to study abroad must visit and be listed with the Office of Study Abroad.

Participation in Manhattanville’s “cooperative programs” for study abroad means that accepted students pay Manhattanville tuition for that designated semester abroad. Students are able to use most of their Manhattanville institutional aid as well as federal financial aid. Students are eligible to access a maximum $10,000 in Manhattanville aid towards the actual tuition cost at Manhattanville College. All remainder balances on total cost of tuition must be paid to Manhattanville. Housing is paid by the student to their host program abroad, not to Manhattanville. Course titles from Manhattanville cooperative programs appear on the Manhattanville College transcript and grades are calculated into the grade point average. The cooperative programs are competitive and students applying to them must demonstrate maturity and academic excellence (a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 or better) and present a convincing rationale. Priority is given to students who have never had a sustained global experience abroad. Low priority is given to students who have already experienced living and studying abroad or outside the U.S. Students must submit their application by the published. All course work taken while abroad need prior departmental approval. In addition, for some programs outside the US and England, students must have completed at least one year of appropriate foreign language study. Ordinarily, students request to spend a junior semester abroad; in rare instances, second semester sophomores can be approved. Spaces on Manhattanville’s cooperative programs are reserved exclusively for those students approved by the College. Students are encouraged to prepare a strong rationale and work with the Study Abroad director before the published deadline.
Applications for both the Fall and Spring of the following academic year must be submitted by the Spring deadline of the previous academic year.
