Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY), formerly Audrey Cohen College, is a private college in New York City. MCNY is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and consists of three schools: The Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education, the School for Public Affairs and Administration, and the School for Business.
The numbers here tell a concerning story — with only a 25% graduation rate and a 38% freshman retention rate, most students who start here don't finish, which is a serious red flag worth understanding before enrolling. If you do graduate, median earnings of $40,100 after 10 years are modest, though the relatively low median debt of $20,000 softens that concern somewhat. This school may be worth a closer look if you have a specific reason it fits your situation — such as its location in New York City or its focus on working adults — but you should go in with clear eyes about the completion odds.
