The Manhattanville Experience

Manhattanville’s Biology program is built for research, health professions, and industry careers, with rigorous training in molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry. Students can specialize in environmental studies, exercise science, nutrition, or pre-health, with the option to complete a capstone thesis project.

As with every APMD partner, Manhattanville students also get clinical exposure through WAUSM’s partner hospitals, a compressed six-year timeline, and WAUSM’s residency-focused career mentorship. See the Overview and How It Works pages for what’s consistent across the whole pathway.
