Molloy College
Molloy College, one of the most affordable private colleges on Long Island, is an independent Catholic college located in Rockville Centre offering students a rich and multidimensional education experience.
Molloy College, an independent Catholic college based in Rockville Centre, was founded in 1955. The College serves a student population of approximately 4,400 undergraduate and graduate students. Molloy students can earn degrees in a variety of outstanding academic programs, including nursing, business, education, social work, music therapy and many more.
Engaged Students
Molloy students possess the confidence needed to live and work in this fast-paced, ever-changing world. The college has expanded its global learning program, where students travel from Rockville Centre and study abroad in Belgium, India, Italy, France, Spain, Thailand, and Australia. By traveling from Long Island and immersing themselves in cultures in other parts of the world, students gain knowledge while learning acceptance and understanding.
Closer to home, Molloy students make a difference in Rockville Centre as well as other local communities. For example, as part of Molloy's tradition of service, students become involved in a number of projects in the college's New York community that include BoxTown, a program to raise social consciousness about the issue of homelessness.
Sports and academics go hand-in-hand at Molloy, where students are known for both their athletic and scholastic success. The Long Island school has a winning tradition in a number of athletic programs and competes in the East Coast Conference, NCAA Division II. Recently the Lions women’s softball team played in the College World Series, making them one of only eight teams in the entire country to earn the right to play in this prestigious tournament.
Great Teaching
At Molloy, students enjoy the benefits of small classes (10:1 ratio) and personal attention from their professors. Molloy students can earn degrees in a variety of outstanding academic programs, including the liberal arts, social and natural sciences, nursing, business, education, social work, speech therapy, music therapy and many more. New graduate programs include a Ph.D. in Nursing and a Master’s in Speech Pathology. Additionally, the Business Division features classes taught by CEOs, CFOs and other senior leaders from the business world.
As the 2010-2011 academic year began, Molloy was pleased to receive two honors for the second consecutive year. Once again, Molloy was named a “Best in the Northeast” college by the prestigious Princeton Review and one of the best regional universities by U.S. News and World Report.
The college recently launched a major new initiative to further enhance the experience of its students. The Sustainability Institute at Molloy College is Long Island's first-ever venture combining environmental advocacy and sustainability education within an academic institution, and Molloy offered a new Sustainability minor beginning in January 2011.
Vibrant Community
Campus life in Rockville Centre is alive and vibrant, with more than 40 student clubs and honor societies. Whether it's writing for a campus publication or serving as a student government representative, Molloy has something for each and every student.
Molloy is currently making significant additions to its campus, with a new student center/performing arts theatre and the college’s first residence hall. Both facilities opened in Fall 2011.
In recent years, Molloy has become a focal point for civic discourse with key community forums. Top regional, national, and international leaders (including Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell, New York Times best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, and Newsweek editor Fareed Zakaria) have come to Rockville Centre to visit the college in order to address critical and timely issues.
Successful Outcomes
Although there is so much that is new at Molloy – including the first residence hall, a new student center and a new performing arts theatre – the College remains committed to its core principles and the power of education to transform lives. Through Molloy’s diversity of programs, personal attention from faculty, and commitment to improving both Long Island and the world, students graduate prepared to make a difference in their communities and the world.
