Academic Catalog
Manhattanville’s School of Education offers two options for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Music degree, with a Master of Arts in Teaching or a Master of Professional Studies. Students not majoring in education as undergraduates who demonstrate a 3.4 or better G.P.A. may apply for the Dual Degree Honors Program. This program allows them to take 15 graduate education courses that apply to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees, thus allowing for acceleration of the graduate degree program. Students who have achieved a 3.0 or better G.P.A. by the end of the junior year may apply to the "Senior Start" program, which allows them to take 9 graduate education credits that count toward both degrees.
The following Dual Degree Programs are available:
Manhattanville’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies offers a dual degree in Creative Writing to students wishing to combine a Bachelor of Arts in English and concentration in Creative & Professional Writing with a Master of Fine Arts in Writing. Undergraduates who demonstrate a 3.4 or better G.P.A. may apply for the Dual Degree Program by February 15 of their junior year. Application must include two recommendations from faculty in the undergraduate English Department; a 7 – to 25 – page writing sample (not exclusively poetry); and a 3 – page statement of purpose. The program allows students to take 8 graduate writing credits that apply to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees, thus allowing for acceleration of the graduate degree program. It is strongly recommended that dual degree candidates volunteer to work on The Manhattanville Review, Manhattanville’s national literary journal.
Students completing an accelerated bachelor’s degree may be eligible to take advantage of the dual degree programs below. Graduate credits will be applied to both undergraduate degree and graduate degree.
Manhattanville College has collaborated with a number of graduate schools to provide additional opportunities for qualified students. Agreements with Polytechnic University, Boston University, and Pace University offer dual degree programs that involve acceleration. In addition, New York Medical College offers preferred admission to certain programs for qualified Manhattanville students.
This is a five-year program consisting of four years at Manhattanville and one summer, plus one year at Pace University Dyson College of Arts and Sciences. The program is open to Manhattanville students with a major or minor in English, English Writing or Communication Studies and leads to a Baccalaureate from Manhattanville and a Master of Science in Publishing from Pace University. Students begin taking Pace graduate courses during their fourth year at Manhattanville — usually three credits in the Fall and three credits in the Spring (Pace courses, held at their campus in Manhattan, are offered in the evening and Saturdays, and thus tend to fit with undergraduate schedules.) These credits count toward the undergraduate degree as well as toward the 36 credits required for the graduate degree. In the summer after graduating from Manhattanville, students usually take six credits at Pace University in New York City, then 12 credits each in the Fall and Spring semesters. This plan allows students to complete the graduate program at the end of the academic year following their graduation from Manhattanville. Manhattanville aid and campus residence are not available once students have gone on to the graduate portion of the program at Pace.
To be eligible for completion of the program, students must:
Pace publishing courses available during the senior year (with registration through Manhattanville)
Courses below must be completed with a minimum grade of B. All courses are three credits. None of these courses (as indicated by the asterisk) count for liberal arts.

This program usually requires seven years: three at Manhattanville and four at Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Approved students leave Manhattanville after completing their third year and a total of at least 108 credits and start taking graduate courses at the Goldman School of Dental Medicine. To achieve 108 credits after three years at Manhattanville, students will have to take overloads and/or summer credits. Up to 12 of the graduate credits taken during the first year at the Goldman School can apply to both degrees, and are transferred back to Manhattanville to complete the minimum of 120 credits required for the B.A. Students are usually eligible for the Manhattanville B.A. after the completion of the first year at the Goldman School of Dental Medicine. The D.M.D degree is conferred following successful completion of four years of study at the Goldman School. Because of the accelerated nature of the program, transfer students are not usually eligible. Manhattanville aid and campus residence are not available once students have gone on to the graduate portion of the program.
