Manhattanville College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college offering undergraduate and graduate degrees, located in the village of Harrison near Purchase, New York, in suburban Westchester County, north of New York City.
Founded in 1841 at 412 Houston Street in lower Manhattan, it was known initially as "Academy of the Sacred Heart", then later as "Manhattanville College" after 1847. In 1917, the academy received a charter from the Regents of the State of New York to raise the school officially to a collegiate level granting degrees as the "College of the Sacred Heart".
The Manhattanville's mission is to "educate students to become ethically and socially responsible leaders for the global community". The school moved to its current location further north, in a suburb beyond New York City in Purchase, New York in 1952. It is near the hamlet of Harrison in Westchester County.
Approximately 1,700 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students attend Manhattanville. Manhattanville students come from 76 countries and 48 American states.".
The architectural and administrative centerpiece of the Manhattanville campus, is Reid Hall (1864) which was named after Whitelaw Reid, publisher and owner of the New York Tribune, one of the leading newspapers in the nation for a century. On either side of Reid Hall stand academic buildings on one side and on the other residence halls around a central quad designed by the famous landscaping / architect Frederick Law Olmsted, also the designer of New York's landmark Central Park in the 1850s and 1860s. The Manhattanville community regards the central quad and buildings as representing the academic vision of the college’s commitment to integrated learning and centered strengths. Other historic buildings include the Lady Chapel, the President’s Cottage known as the Barbara Debs House, the old Stables, and Water Tower.
