Daemen College is located on Main Street in Amherst, New York.
Daemen was founded in 1947 as Rosary Hill College for women by the Sisters of St. Francis of Pennance and Christian Charity, headed by Magdalene Daemen. The school became co-ed in 1971, and changed its name in 1976 to honor its founder. Currently, Daemen is a non-sectarian four-year liberal arts college.
Of particular interest to many prospective students are the Physician Assistant and Physical Therapy programs, for which the school has a nationwide reputation. A significant number of students in these two departments are from outside of Western New York.
There are more than thirty undergraduate programs and six graduate programs at the school.
Daemen College is unique for its Core Curriculum, which is competency-based. Students who graduate from the College are expected to master critical thinking and creative problem solving, literacy in information and multi-media technology, communication skills, affective judgment, moral and ethical discernment, contextual competency, and civic responsibility. Also notable is Daemen's integration of service learning into the Core Curriculum.
