The College of New Rochelle - A private Catholic College founded in 1904 with a $17.1 million dollar endowment. . Originally called The College of St. Angela, this first Catholic women's college in New York state in 1904, a time when women were generally excluded from higher education. The name was changed to the College of New Rochelle in 1910. Building on its original commitment to women, the college reaches out to those who have not previously had access to higher education. It places particular emphasis on the concept of lifelong learning.

Monroe College - With campuses in New Rochelle, the Bronx and St. Lucia, this proprietary college founded in 1933 was named after our fifth president James Monroe. The college’s New Rochelle campus features dormitory living, an award-winning culinary arts teaching facility, other unique learning environments, and an athletic center. It took only two years for the women's volleyball team to make the playoffs for the first time and in 2004 they finished 21-4 and played all the way to the Region XV Championship game. The women's softball team made the Region XV Championship game in just their second year of varsity play. In Men's soccer, the Mustangs have made two appearances in the Region Championship game.
