Manhattan University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Manhattan University?

Manhattan University charges private-university tuition rather than different in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition was $48,400, with $5,000 in required fees. Published charges can change by academic year, so applicants should use their own entry year's bill and aid offer for a final comparison.

• Reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $53,400.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $19,150.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,200.

Those reported components total $73,750 for a student using the stated housing-and-dining estimate, before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. It is not every student's bill: a commuter's living expenses, for example, will differ from a resident's. Part-time undergraduates were reported a charge of $1,430 per credit; graduate pricing follows a different schedule.

Grants can make the price paid much lower than the published total. Reported average net prices by family-income band included $23,097 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $28,454 for the $48,001-$75,000 band. These are averages after grant aid, not quotes for an individual family. Net price need not rise neatly from one income band to the next because students' aid packages and circumstances differ.

Eligible students may finance attendance through federal grants and loans, New York State aid, institutional scholarships, and other assistance. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $33,111, but an average award is not an offer to every student. Applicants should complete the financial-aid applications required for their circumstances, check priority dates, and compare each award letter's grants, loans, work-study, and remaining out-of-pocket cost separately. Veterans and eligible dependents should also ask the university's veterans-support staff how their education benefits would apply.

What are the work-study opportunities at Manhattan University?

Manhattan University students can seek part-time work and use career services while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, supports paid employment; it is not a grant paid automatically toward the tuition bill. Students generally must secure a position and earn wages for hours worked.

Other campus jobs may be available outside Federal Work-Study. Applicants should distinguish those openings from internships, which are primarily structured for academic or professional experience and may follow different pay and credit rules. The financial-aid office and the university's student-job listings are the practical places to confirm eligibility, hiring steps, and available positions.

For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruiting, career fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can help a student prepare and search; their availability is not an employment outcome, and an internship is not required of every Manhattan student.
