Since its founding in 1847, when it first occupied a modest site in upper Manhattan, the College of Mount Saint Vincent has remained a dedicated part of the New York metropolitan community.  Nearly half the entering class of 2011 hails from one of the five boroughs, with another third coming from Westchester and other counties within New York State. 

As a federally-designated Hispanic-serving and Minority-serving institution, the College’s student population reflects the diversity of its home community.  Appreciating the needs of that community, the College provides graduates with the skills to serve in it as nurses, health practitioners, scientists, businesspeople, entrepreneurs, researchers, and civic leaders.
