Monroe College is a private, for-profit institution founded in 1933. It operates multiple campuses in New York, including the Bronx and New Rochelle, as well as an international location in St. Lucia. Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, Monroe relies on tuition and private investments.
The college offers associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, focusing on career-oriented programs. As a private entity, it has greater flexibility in curriculum design and admissions policies compared to public universities. Its structure allows for tailored student support services and accelerated degree options.
