Medaille College is a private, coeducational, four-year college located in central Buffalo, New York.
Medaille College is a private four-year college offering undergraduate and graduate programs in western New York, drawing heavily from the western New York and southern Ontario regions. The college is located within the historic Olmsted Crescent in the heart of Buffalo, New York, with branch campuses in Amherst, NY, and Rochester, NY.
One of the fastest growing colleges in the country, Medaille’s enrollment (approximately 2,500 students in fall 2003) has increased more than 190% since 1995. Building on that success, the college has become an economic engine in the community, investing $27 million in physical plant enhancements in the past three years. Recent construction has included the building of two on-campus residence halls, expansion of the Kevin I. Sullivan Campus Center, renovation of Huber Hall Library, addition of technologically enhanced “smart” classrooms, remodeling of two campus homes for the Admissions and Advancement Offices, and installation of a new main parking lot and quadrangle.
Medaille’s recent growth has resulted from the advent of two branch campuses, the implementation of graduate programs, and the creation of innovative undergraduate programs that meet the needs of a diverse student population. Currently, 20% of the college’s students are minorities.
Medaille offers undergraduate programs in education, English, biology, business, psychology, criminal justice, and communication. The unique-to-the-area programs in sport management, veterinary technology, and visual and digital arts have also proven popular.
Graduate programs in business, education, mental health counseling, organizational leadership, and psychology round out the set of degree offerings. Nearly 100% of the college’s graduates find employment or continue on to graduate school within a year of graduation.
