The College of Saint Rose

The College of Saint Rose was a private college in Albany, New York, United States. It was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Catholic women's college, and it became fully coeducational in the 1969–1970 academic year. The following year, the college added laypersons to its board and became an independent college sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The college was located in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Albany. It was a Division II member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In June 2023, after many years of financial difficulties, the college's accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, publicly warned the college that it was in danger of losing its accreditation. The college closed in June 2024.
