International Applicants
Manhattanville College is extremely proud of its long-standing history of having international students as active members of our community. Students from abroad are eligible for admission if they have completed, with good grades, the academic (classical) secondary school program offered in their country. Students transferring from a college or university in another country must also demonstrate an acceptable academic profile. Manhattanville College offers academic (non-need based) scholarships and some financial aid to international applicants deemed to be eligible. All applicants who speak or write English as a second language are required to submit either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System.) The minimum score required for consideration is 80 on the internet-based TOEFL or 6.5 on the IELTS. Official Test results must be sent to Manhattanville College. Information concerning these tests may be obtained directly by logging onto www.ets.org or www.ielts.org. Applicants seeking to begin studies in the fall semester (September) should submit applications and supporting credentials by March 1. All documents written in languages other than English must be accompanied by certified English translations.
The Admissions Office will not process applications until all supporting documents are received. Once an application is received and reviewed, a decision is forwarded to the applicant on a rolling basis. Some accepted students may be required to register for non-credit, preparatory English courses. These courses, which are conducted at the English Language Institute of Manhattanville College, will involve additional expense and extend the time normally required to complete studies for a degree.
