Metropolitan College of New York

Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) offers an alternative to traditional higher education models. The school's curriculum strives to integrate classroom learning with workplace experience so that students can more immediately see the purpose of their studies. The MCNY system encourages students to work full-time or participate in internships while attending school. Students can earn associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees in the areas of business, human services, education, and public administration. MCNY was founded in 1964 by social activist Audrey Cohen.
