How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Manhattan University admits about 78.9% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,180 and 1,358, and ACT scores typically fall between 25 and 29. Among enrolled undergraduates, 36.0% receive Pell Grants and 25.4% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment accounts for 15.2% of the student body. Azimuth ranks Manhattan University #625 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's enrollment patterns: a selective admission process combined with modest Pell and first-generation representation means that while Manhattan University enrolls qualified students from diverse backgrounds, the overall scale of low-income access remains limited relative to broader-access institutions. The six-year graduation rate is 63.7%, with 67.3% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window, and freshman retention stands at 76.0%. Azimuth ranks Manhattan University #697 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $72,400 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 93.0 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects Manhattan University's engineering-focused program portfolio: students who gain admission and complete their degrees, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, move into stable, well-compensated technical careers. The mobility ranking captures both strong per-student outcomes for low-income graduates and the institution's role as an engineering pipeline, where selective admission combines with rigorous program delivery to support upward economic mobility for those who enroll.
