Siena College is a private Franciscan college in Loudonville, Albany County, New York.[6][7] Siena was founded by the Order of Friars Minor in 1937. The College was named after Bernardino of Siena, a 15th-century Italian Franciscan friar and preacher.[8] St. Bernardine of Siena Friary is located on campus. The College has 3,000 full-time students and offers undergraduate degrees in business, liberal arts, and sciences.[4]

History

In the late 1930s, Thomas Plassmann, president of St. Bonaventure University in Western New York, sent seven Franciscan friars to New York's Capital Region to found another college.[9]

A Siena College Grotto along with a new bookstore opened in Fall 2014.[10] A new rugby pitch was opened in Fall 2016.[11] In 2020, the College was listed as a census-designated place (Siena College CDP)[12]

In Spring 2025, the College will open a brand new, state-of-the-art science complex. Nobel Hall will have specialized laboratories and designated collaborative spaces. A rooftop penthouse will house the mechanical support systems for the new building. [13]

Academics

Siena College students attend three schools within the College:

Within the three schools, Siena offers 43 majors, over 80 minors, certificates, concentrations, and 12 graduate programs.[15]

Siena offers 21 NCAA Division I sports, all of which participate in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).[18][19]

A team with recent high achievement is men's baseball. The Saints advanced to the 1999 NCAA Division I baseball tournament and in 2005 saw pitcher John Lannan drafted by the Washington Nationals.[20] Lannan has since become a regular starter in Washington's rotation.[21]

Finally, the men's lacrosse team has also improved significantly in recent years. The Saints qualified for their first MAAC tournament in 2007 and their first NCAA tournament in 2009. That season, the Saints secured an automatic berth in the tournament after winning their first MAAC championship during a ten-game winning streak.[22]

Siena College Research Institute

Siena College Research Institute, an affiliate of Siena College, conducts expert and public opinion polls, focusing on New York State and the United States, on issues of public policy interest.[23]

Student life

Siena has various housing options, including traditional residence halls, private rooms, and townhouse units, across eight residential communities.[24] Housing assignments for Siena students who live on campus are based on class year.[25] Additionally, some students opt for off-campus housing at the College Suites or commute from nearby areas.

Approximately 90 student clubs and organizations range from academic and professional groups to cultural and recreational clubs.[26]
