Molloy is where you'll become who you were always meant to be.

“We invest in our students’ success, and we prepare them to succeed. Molloy students are committed to a value system that stresses a strong work ethic, resiliency, professionalism, service and leadership.” — Dr. James P. Lentini, President, Molloy University

Investing in Students’ Success

Rooted in the liberal arts, our programs are designed to develop critical thinkers who are prepared for the future,” said President Lentini. “This is why students graduate and find success. Inspired by our Catholic, Dominican tradition, we welcome a diverse community and reach beyond the classroom to educate the whole person.”

Our small 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio ensures that professors know their students personally and serve as mentors. Molloy offers flexible pathways and support for transfer students, career changers, and veterans, making it easier than ever to earn a degree.

Drawing on the Strength of the New York Metropolitan Region

Molloy’s location is one of its greatest advantages.

The NYC metro area leads globally in healthcare, business and finance, education, criminal justice, and the performing arts, giving students unparalleled access to opportunities.

In addition to the main campus in Nassau County, Molloy maintains satellite locations in Manhattan and Suffolk County. The University’s growing Communiversity initiative strengthens ties with the local community, helping students and their families feel connected and supported.

With more than 28,000 alumni living and working in the tri-state area, students benefit from a powerful network of mentors and professional connections.

With 50+ clubs and organizations, evening and weekend activities, a 550-seat theatre, diverse dining options, and plenty of study and gathering spaces, there’s a place for everyone to get involved and make new friends.
