De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and Manhattan University in New York signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on June 9, launching a student exchange program between the two Lasallian schools. The agreement opens international learning opportunities for undergraduate students starting in the First Term of AY 2025-2026.
Each year, two students from each institution may study abroad for one semester. While they remain enrolled and pay tuition at their home school, they will attend classes and access campus services at the host university at no additional academic cost. Students will cover their own travel, housing, and personal expenses, with support from both schools’ international offices.
For students and families, the program offers more than academic credits. It provides full cultural and classroom immersion in a values-driven environment. Exchange students will be enrolled as full-time students at the host campus, with access to campus life, academic support, and student services. Both institutions will offer help with accommodations, visa requirements, and orientation to support participants before and during their stay.
