The College of Saint Rose was a private college in Albany, New York, United States. It was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Catholic women's college, and it became fully coeducational in the 1969–1970 academic year. The following year, the college added laypersons to its board and became an independent college sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The college was located in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Albany. It was a Division II member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 51% graduation rate and 72% freshman retention suggest many students either transfer or don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $16,000, and the Albany location offers real access to government, healthcare, and education job markets. Worth considering if you have a specific program in mind (education and the arts have historically been strengths), but dig into department-level outcomes before committing.
