Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 3,232 of CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College's 18,225 students (18%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 8,200 (45%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

- What is the acceptance rate at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College is approximately 100%.

CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.

- CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College reports total enrollment of approximately 18,623 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College is approximately $4,976 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $4,057 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $12,016. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College?
- CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College reports a graduation rate of approximately 25%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College have?
- Students who borrowed at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College left with a median of approximately $7,574 in federal loans, and about 4% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $42,306 for students who received federal financial aid at CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College.
