Ten thousand students across five campuses comprise Mercy New York education. With the main campus in Dobbs Ferry, and neighboring campuses in the Bronx, Manhattan, White Plains and Yorktown, plus a vibrant online learning community, there is no shortage of diversity across these varying environments. Established in 1950 by the Sisters of Mercy, the college's primary goal was to give the opportunity for higher education to young women who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. By the late 1960s, the school became co-ed and nonsectarian, with its new mission to expand their goal for affordable, attainable, quality education to all walks of people - and for 55 years since the school has done just that.
