Residence Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree

Manhattanville College requires all undergraduate students who have transferred in 60 credits or fewer to matriculate for and to complete at least 60 semester credit hours, at least one half of the major, and four semesters academically “in residence” in order to earn the Bachelor’s degree.

“In residence” includes all courses for which students receive grades which impact their Manhattanville College G.P.A.., including overseas — or other off-campus — programs which are an integral part of a signed, cooperative agreement. Students will be required to obtain the signed approval of the advisor and the dean of their respective school before embarking on any such off-campus programs which are intended to be considered “residence” credit.

In order to earn the Bachelor’s degree, students who have transferred into Manhattanville with more than 60 credits will be required to:

  • complete at least the final 30 semester credit hours and at least half of the major and minor “in residence” with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. in courses in which they are enrolled at the College.
  • demonstrate that they have satisfied the Manhattanville College general education requirements — either in courses for which they have enrolled at Manhattanville College — or at another accredited college/university.
  • complete all state-mandated bachelor’s degree/certification requirements.
