The College of New Rochelle (CNR) is a private Catholic college with its main campus located in New Rochelle, New York. In 1904, the Ursuline sisters founded The College of New Rochelle as the first Catholic college for women in New York State with the goal of providing a quality college education to young women–this took place a full 16 years before women had the right to vote. Since that time, the College has grown tremendously, and now operates on a university model, bringing quality value-based education to approximately 4,000 women and men on six campuses and through four Schools –the School of Arts & Sciences, School of New Resources for adult learners, School of Nursing, and Graduate School.
