Welcome
to the School of Arts and Sciences
of The College of New Rochelle, New York State’s
first Catholic liberal arts college for women. We are
a small independent college with a tranquil campus nestled in a residential
area just outside of New York City. Our strong academic program and
unique location combine to offer distinct advantages to our students, and
we pride ourselves on the educational experience we provide.
Since its founding by the Ursuline
Order in 1904, The College of New Rochelle has maintained as a hallmark
its reputation for quality. Students in the School of Arts &
Sciences experience that quality in important ways - in a distinctive curriculum
that combines the liberal arts with professional preparation, in a nationally
recognized faculty of dedicated teachers and gifted scholars, and in an
academic community that values and fosters excellence, integrity, service
and tolerance.
Our students are a diverse group
of young women from the United States and other countries who bring with
them special talents, interests, and aspirations. They are classmates,
project partners, roommates and friends. Whether preparing for a career
in broadcasting, teaching, business, the arts, the health professions or
human services, they share a common educational experience - classes are
small and student-centered, courses are designed to meet the challenge
of 21st century global citizenship, and programs offer ample opportunity
for internships in places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the United
Nations.
If you are interested in learning
more about The College of New Rochelle, I invite you to explore the CNR
Web Site. And, if you are able, I urge you visit our beautiful campus
to experience the educational environment that is uniquely CNR.
