Manhattan University

Manhattan University is a private, Catholic university in New York City, New York, US. Originally established in 1853 by the De La Salle Christian Brothers as an academy for day students, it was later incorporated as an institution of higher education through a charter granted by the New York State Board of Regents. In 1922, it moved from Manhattan to the Riverdale section of the Bronx, roughly 6.4 miles (10.3 km) north of its original location on 131st Street in Manhattanville.
