WHY IS MEDAILLE COLLEGE CLOSING?


WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE STUDENTS?

Several other Universities and Colleges have announced that they will step in and allow current students from Medaille University to transfer their credits and complete their degrees. Daeman College, Canisius College, and Niagara University are some of the local schools that have reached a "teach-out" agreement with Medaille to allow their students to transfer.

 

Medaille University is the 2nd major school to close in New York in 2023. Back in December of 2022, Cazenovia College announced it would be shutting down its school at the end of the summer this year.

Cazenovia, just like Medaille, cited declining enrollment and rising operation costs as the reason for the shutdown.
