MCNY Today

Metropolitan College of New York is a private, independent, not for profit institution of higher education.

The college is accredited by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The College is approved for the training of veterans and other eligible persons by the New York State Education Department.

Since its founding forty years ago, the College has developed highly academic programs that prepare students to become critical thinkers and effective communicators so that they can contribute to their organizations and their communities. What makes MCNY so unique is…

• A curriculum that allows students to work full-time and attend school full-time
• A mature, focused student population
• In-the-field faculty
• An array of undergraduate and graduate degree programs

Accelerated studies…while working full-time

MCNY has developed a curriculum that allows students to graduate in less time than other colleges, even while working full-time (part-time options are available).

It’s not easy, but it’s definitely worth it. MCNY students go to school full-time and pursue their education full-time. They get their degrees faster and they continue to earn money because they don’t have to quit their jobs or cut back to a part-time schedule to go to school.

That’s what we mean by education that works.

Because of our accelerated programs and the fact that we offer a 3-semester year, students can:

• Earn an Associate’s of Arts Degree in 1 year and 4 months;
• Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Business or Human Services in 2 2/3 years or even less, with applicable transfer credits;
• Earn a Master of Public Administration or an MBA in 1 3-semester year (Note: The MPA in Emergency & Disaster Management is a 16 month program.)

In addition, MCNY offers several of its courses online, so that students can work at their own pace, on their own schedule.

A focused committed student body
Perseverance and purpose are two qualities that describe the typical MCNY student. This is a place for people who know what they want from their education and are willing to work hard to get it, quickly. Watch our videos that show the real stories of MCNY students, faculty and grads.
