- The College of Saint Rose Albany
The College of Saint Rose is a private four-year coeducational college located in Albany, New York, one of six colleges in the United States sponsored by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and other associations.
History
The institution was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Roman Catholic college for women. Its founders selected the name of Saint Rose to honor the first canonized saint in the Americas, Saint Rose of Lima.
The primary academic purpose of the College was the full development of the person through a strong liberal arts curriculum. Initially, emphasis was placed on the professional training of teachers and this emphasis was expanded in the early years to include preparation for business and other professions.
As needs in the Albany area increased, the College expanded and revised its programs to meet those needs. An evening division was developed in 1946 to meet the needs of World War II veterans and was re-instituted in 1974 to respond to continuing education needs. In 1949, a graduate school was added to provide master’s degree programs.
Men were admitted to both the original evening and graduate divisions, and in 1969 the College became fully co-educational yet male housing was not available till the 1970s.
In 1970, the Board of Trustees was expanded to include laypersons in addition to the Sisters of Saint Joseph. With the formal transfer of control to this board, The College of Saint Rose became an independent college sponsored by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet.
