SIX CAMPUSES, FOUR SCHOOLS, A SINGLE COMMITMENT
TO  STUDENTS

Today, this Catholic College for women, still animated by the spirit of our founding Ursulines, serves almost 7,000 undergraduate and graduate students in four schools on six campuses. Our faculty are first and foremost teachers, dedicated to the individual student. Through the classical partnership of teacher and learner, CNR faculty and students create a vibrant academic community that fosters critical thinking, vigorous dialogue and a love of learning.

In the School of Arts and Sciences, the value of single-sex liberal arts education for women continues to be cherished, and the talents, ambitions, and intellects of young women are encouraged to their fullest. In all our schools and across all our campuses, even those that invite men to enroll, the College educates students to value the perspectives, experiences, ideas and leadership potential of women. The centrality of women remains a non-negotiable element of our mission, even—especially—as the College grows and evolves.

The Graduate School, built on the strength of our flagship liberal arts programs, offers women and men professional knowledge, practical skills and a personalized educational experience—always a hallmark of the College—carrying to the next level CNR’s commitment to service in education, art, communications and human services.

As CNR moves to become a leader in wellness education, the School of Nursing will play a vital role. For almost thirty years, we have been graduating healthcare professionals who have not only superior clinical skills but the richly rounded liberal arts education they need to take their rightful places in healthcare delivery, management and policy-making. CNR’s nursing program in a liberal arts context, in conjunction with the new Wellness Center, will fill a potent need in a rapidly changing healthcare system burdened with a critical shortage of nurses.

CNR is a leader in adult education, with six campuses for non-traditional-age students attending the School of New Resources. In partnership with faculty, each New Resources student creates an individualized curriculum that meets his or her educational goals. The School’s alumni go on to graduate study at prestigious universities and embark on successful and varied careers.

The Campaign, while focusing its capital investments on the New Rochelle campus, benefits the School of New Resources in many ways that reflect the integral relationship between the main and city campuses, united by mission and technology. The Gill Library renovation included an upgrade of technological delivery methods, so students at our city campuses have easy online access to the myriad resources at the main library. Similarly, School of New Resources students will have access—both through interactive technologies and in their own wellness classrooms—to education modules and other wellness resources that will be offered at the Wellness Center on the New Rochelle campus.
