Molloy College is a private, coeducational, Catholic, Long Island college, located in Rockville Centre, New York – less than an hour away from Manhattan. Molloy College is known as one of the most affordable private colleges on Long Island and has been named a “Best Value College” by Money Magazine and ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top colleges in the Northeast. Chartered in 1955, the school began as the Molloy Catholic College for Women, established by the Sisters of Dominic. In 1960, after receiving its Absolute Charter from the State of New York, the College was approved to offer baccalaureate degrees. In 1971 the College adopted its current name and in 1982 became completely coeducational.
