Mercy College is a private, nonprofit institution located in New York. Founded in 1950 by the Sisters of Mercy, it offers undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines. Unlike public universities funded by state governments, Mercy College relies on tuition, donations, and endowments.
The college is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. It emphasizes career-focused education, with campuses in Dobbs Ferry, Bronx, Manhattan, and Yorktown Heights. As a private university, Mercy College sets its own tuition rates and policies, though it participates in federal financial aid programs to support students.
