Medaille College is a private liberal arts college located in the historic Olmsted Crescent of Buffalo, New York, that draws extensively from the Western New York and Southern Ontario regions. It is a private, non-denominational, co-educational institution.

Founded in 1875 as the Sisters of Saint Joseph to train teachers. The school obtained a state charter and became Mount Saint Joseph College in 1937. In 1968, the school enlarged its mission and gained its current name. The College has 90 full-time faculty members and more than 200 part-time faculty, and the total enrollment is now at 2,759 students.

In the 1970s, Medaille experienced rapid expansion. Student enrollment grew, and new facilities, like the Downey Science Building, were built to meet the demands of new degrees and program options. In 1991, the College implemented a resident student program, attracting students from throughout New York State and Southern Ontario. Three years later, the Kevin I. Sullivan Campus Center opened, offering students a setting for athletic, dining and recreational activities. The Sullivan Campus Center, with its Trbovich Alumni Tower, serves as home to the College’s National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III sports program, which has seen tremendous success in its short history.

In fall 2001, Medaille opened its first residence hall, followed two years later by a second residence hall, bringing the total number of resident students to nearly 350 and creating an even greater need for campus facilities for recreation and for learning. Medaille met that need by expanding the Sullivan Campus Center, renovating the Huber Hall Library and installing new parking areas and a quadrangle green space.

In 2010, Medaille initiated its online degree programs, providing a high quality Medaille education to the region and the world. The number of online degree programs continues to grow. Now, with many offered both online and in the classroom, Medaille provides tremendous flexibility for busy students.

In the fall of 2011, the College completed a construction project that doubled the size of Huber Hall with a new Student Success Center that integrates academic and student support services under one roof. The Student Success Center provides fully integrated services for individualized attention and improved achievement.

On September 26, 2012, the Sullivan Campus Center was rededicated after the completion of a new 3,000-square-foot fitness center, event center with a 600-person capacity, locker rooms and dedicated student group and meeting spaces.
