History
Medaille College is a private, coeducational
institution offering associate, bachelor's and
master's degree programs through day, evening
and weekend studies.
The
College traces its roots back
to 1875 when the Sisters of St.
Joseph founded an Institute for
the preparation of teachers. The
Institute became Mt. St. Joseph
Teachers College in 1937, and
was authorized to grant baccalaureate
degrees in Education to women
in religious orders. In 1967 the
name of the institution was changed
to Medaille College, and its charter
was amended to allow it to admit
both men and women. In 1968 an
absolute charter was granted by
the Board of Regents, establishing
Medaille College as a totally
independent institution governed
by a self-perpetuating Board of
Trustees.
The College grants graduate degrees in business and education, as well as undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts and a variety of career-related programs.
