The university has six schools and offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs, on campus and online.[12] Forbes ranked Mercy University the 2nd best among all online universities in New York State in 2024.[13] The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated Mercy University as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education.[14] Enrollment at Mercy University includes more than 8,500 undergraduate and graduate students representing 40 states and 51 countries throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America.[3]

## History

[edit]

The college was founded in 1950 by the Sisters of Mercy.[15] In 2011, Mercy College absorbed the buildings and facilities of Our Lady of Victory Academy. In 2016, Mercy College opened a new $32 million, 100,000-square-foot residence hall, a 5,000-square-foot fitness center and a Starbucks Cafe and convenience store on its Dobbs Ferry campus.[16] Mercy College expanded and renovated its Manhattan campus in 2019.[17] Also in 2019, Mercy College absorbed the College of New Rochelle.[18] In 2023, Mercy College changed its name to Mercy University to reflect its evolution to a research university.[19] In 2024, Mercy University completed $4.25 million worth of campus improvements in Dobbs Ferry, New York, including the construction of a 4,100 square-foot permanent open-aired pavilion in The Grove area of the Dobbs Ferry main campus.[20] Also in 2024, Mercy University started enhancing its athletic fields on the Dobbs Ferry campus.[21]

The branch library at the Yorktown campus was designated a federal depository for government publications.[24] The campus was close to Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park and ceased operations in 2021.[25]

#### College of New Rochelle campus lease

[edit]

In fall 2019, Mercy leased the College of New Rochelle’s main campus in New Rochelle for up to two years, at $1.8 million a year, and nearly 1,700 students from CNR became Mercy students.[26] In addition to CNR's main campus, Mercy also negotiated leases for two of CNR's satellite campuses, Rosa Parks in Harlem and the Brooklyn Campus in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.[27] However this arrangement proved short-lived as the New Rochelle campus was sold in December 2019 to the Grand Lodge of New York Freemasons in order to pay off the College of New Rochelle's debts. It has since been turned into a senior-living facility for aged and infirm Freemasons.[28]
