Cost of Attendance
Cost of Attendance at Manhattanville
Estimated costs are the same for all students—but what each student actually pays can vary significantly. The figures below represent the full cost of attendance before any financial aid is applied. Financial aid—including scholarships, grants, and loans—is a separate resource that helps students cover these costs and is awarded based on individual circumstances like family income, academic merit, and eligibility for federal, state, or institutional aid.
To get a personalized estimate of what you might actually pay, we encourage you to explore Manhattanville’s scholarships and financial aid opportunities and use our Net Price Calculator to see how aid could impact your bottom line.
The total cost of attending Manhattanville can vary each year based on tuition and fees, housing choices, and personal spending habits. To help you plan, we’ve provided estimated costs for a full academic year.
These estimates apply to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in both the fall and spring semesters. They’re designed to help you understand the financial commitment involved in earning your degree.
What’s Included in the Cost of Attendance?

- Direct Costs: These are charges billed directly by Manhattanville, such as tuition, fees, and housing and meal plans for students living on campus. You’ll see these on your student account.
- Indirect Costs: These are estimated expenses that support your education but aren’t billed by the university. They include items like books, transportation, and personal spending.
