Nyack College, a Christian liberal arts college of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, seeks to assist students in their spiritual, intellectual, and social formation, preparing them for lives of service to Christ and His church and to society in a way that reflects the Kingdom of God and its ethnic diversity.
Nyack College is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and home to the Alliance Theological Seminary, one of the denomination's seminaries. The main campus is located in Nyack, New York. Branch campuses exist in Manhattan, Albany, Dayton, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C..
The college was founded as the Missionary Training Institute in New York City in 1882 by Albert B. Simpson, a 19th century Christian evangelist and founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Simpson and his wife were buried on campus. The Missionary Training Institute was later granted a charter by the New York Board of Regents and the school's curriculum was registered by the State Education Department in 1944. In 1953, the school was authorized to confer the Bachelor of Science degree and, in 1961, the Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1960, the corporation was authorized to conduct a post-baccalaureate program as the forerunner of Alliance Theological Seminary. Nyack first received school accreditation in 1962 from Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1963, the school became a member of the American Council on Education.
Nyack offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs and is broken down into six individual "schools": The School of Business; The School of Education; The School of Music; The College of Arts and Sciences; The School of Adult & Distance Education; and the Alliance Theological Seminary. Undergraduate degrees in 45 majors include Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Sacred Music. Graduate degrees include Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Divinity, and Master of Professional Studies.
