Nyack College (/ˈnaɪ.æk/) is a private, non-profit, Christian, academic community that is affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and home to the Alliance Theological Seminary, the denomination's official seminary. Nyack has three campuses: New York City, New York; Nyack, New York (in Rockland County, New York); and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Enrolling over 2,700 students, the school is organized in three academic divisions, including the Alliance Theological Seminary, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Graduate and Professional Programs. Nyack offers both on campus and online courses as part of its undergraduate, graduate, and seminary programs. Nyack’s Carnegie Classification is Master’s Level — Larger Programs.
Originally known as the Missionary Training Institute, the school was founded in 1882 in New York City by Dr. A.B. Simpson. Simpsons resigned a prestigious New York City pastorate to develop an interdenominational fellowship devoted to serving unreached people. Simpson’s view was shared by many of his contemporaries, including mainline church leaders, laborers, and theological scholars.
The Missionary Training Institute was later granted a charter by the New York Board of Regents and the school's curriculum was registered by the State Education Department in 1944. In 1953, the school was authorized to confer the Bachelor of Science degree and, in 1961, the Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1960, the corporation was authorized to conduct a post-baccalaureate program as the forerunner of the Alliance Theological Seminary. Nyack first received school accreditation in 1962 from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1963, the school became a member of the American Council on Education.
