St. Joseph's Gains University Status
WE ARE NOW ST. JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY
Effective April 12, 2022, the New York State Regents, along with the New York State Department of Education, has officially granted St. Joseph's university status. What does this mean? St. Joseph's College, New York is now St. Joseph's University, New York!
An historic moment for our more than century-old institution, this marks the beginning of St. Joseph's next chapter as a mission-driven institution rooted in the liberal arts tradition that provides a strong academic and value-oriented education at the undergraduate and graduate levels and supports provision for career preparation and enhancement.
While the change of designation will bring many benefits to our community, the academic focus, character and qualities of St. Joseph's will remain unchanged. We will maintain our commitment to the charism of our founding Sisters, and we will ensure that our close-knit community of scholars and staff members will continue to provide our students with the personal attention and encouragement that is the hallmark of a St. Joseph's education.
Please join us in celebrating this momentous event in St. Joseph's history.
