Entry requirements

Marymount Manhattan College evaluates applicants holistically. Typical entry requires a recognised secondary school diploma with a record of solid academic performance and evidence of quantitative ability (for example, coursework in mathematics). Standardised test scores (SAT/ACT) may be submitted where relevant but are often considered optional; applicants should check the college's current testing policy.

• Academic preparation: Strong grades in mathematics and humanities or social sciences are recommended. Relevant coursework such as algebra, statistics or economics is beneficial.
• English language proficiency: International applicants whose first language is not English will need to demonstrate proficiency through accepted tests (for example TOEFL or IELTS) or by meeting the college's alternative English‑language requirements.
• Additional materials: Personal statement, résumé or activity list, and academic references help demonstrate fit and motivation. Transfer applicants should submit college transcripts and a statement of purpose.
• Mature or non‑traditional applicants: Considered on the same holistic basis, with attention to work experience and prior learning.
