Daemen University is a private university in Amherst, New York, United States. Formerly Daemen College and Rosary Hill College, the nonsectarian school was founded as a Catholic institution by the Sisters of St. Francis in 1947.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — while the average net price of $18,244/year is genuinely affordable and median debt at graduation is a manageable $15,041, the 58% graduation rate raises real questions about whether students are finishing what they start. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, tight-knit campus in the Buffalo area with accessible admissions, but dig into your specific program's outcomes, since the median earnings of $48,200 a decade out are modest and vary considerably by field.
