Mercy College
Overview:
Mercy College (Mercy or Mercy NY) is a private university with campuses in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Yorktown Heights in addition to its main campus in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Although traditionally connected to the Catholic Church, the institution has been non-sectarian and independent since the early 1970s. More than 90 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs are available at Mercy College, which includes five schools: Business, Education, Health and Natural Sciences, Liberal Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. In the autumn of 2015, the institution had 11,295 registered students. The student body hails from 54 nations and 43 states.
The Sisters of Mercy founded Mercy College in 1950, and in 1961 it transitioned into a four-year institution with baccalaureate-level programs. In 1968, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education granted the college accreditation. Mercy College took a number of steps over the course of the following half-decade, including establishing itself as an autonomous co-educational institution. The scale of the current physical facility was also increased, and the first of many community outreach initiatives was started. Mercy College expanded its reach in the 1970s by establishing extension centers and branch campuses in several Westchester County and New York City neighborhoods.
