Metropolitan College of New York
History
Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) is an accredited, non-profit institution founded in 1964 by Audrey Cohen, an innovative educator who believed that a truly effective education could be found at the intersection of academia and real-world experience.
MCNY offers accelerated undergraduate and graduate degree programs at both its downtown Manhattan Campus and Bronx Campus across its three schools: the Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education, the School for Public Affairs and Administration, and the School for Business.
Locations
MCNY’s main campus is conveniently located in Lower Manhattan in the heart of New York City’s Financial District (FiDi).

In addition to the Manhattan campus, MCNY has a busy Bronx campus which serves students in the Bronx, Queens and Upper Manhattan. The South Bronx, in the midst of a development boom, is quickly becoming a hotspot for business development and MCNY is in the center of it all.
