Manhattan College is a Catholic college in the Lasallian tradition in New York City. In spite of the college's name, it is not now located in Manhattan but in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York; while many scoff at this irony, the college is actually less than a mile from the northernmost point of Manhattan at 242nd Street and Broadway.

The college was founded in 1853 by five French LaSallian Brothers in a small building on Canal Street. After spacial concerns forced them from Lower Manhattan, the College moved to 131st Street and Broadway, in the Manhattanville section of Harlem.

This is achieved in two ways: by offering students programs which integrate a broad liberal education with concentration in specific disciplines in the arts and sciences or with professional preparation in business, education and engineering; and by nurturing a caring, pluralistic campus community.
