Trocaire College is a private Roman Catholic college in Buffalo, New York. Founded in 1958 by the Sisters of Mercy, Trocaire College offers degrees in healthcare, business, and technology.[1] It has an extension site in Williamsville, New York. Total enrollment across both locations is approximately 1,300 students.[2]

History

Trocaire was founded in 1958 by the Sisters of Mercy as Sancta Maria College to train women of the order. In 1965 it admitted laywomen and in 1972 enrolled male students. In 1967 the college was renamed Trocaire College.[3] The word Trócaire means Mercy in the Irish language. This is an homage to the religious order which founded the college, the Sisters of Mercy, who were founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1831.[4]

In August 2022, Trocaire and nearby Medaille University signed a cooperative agreement.[5] In January 2023, Trocaire purchased six buildings from Medaille.[6] In April 2023, it was announced by interim Medaille University President Dr. Lori Quigley that Trocaire College would be acquiring Medaille in a merger of both collegiate institutions, planned for July 31, 2023.[7] However, less than a month later, in May 2023, Trocaire College President Bassam Deeb announced they would no longer be acquiring Medaille and that the merger was off.[8]

Academics

Trocaire College offers certificate, Associate's degree, and Bachelor's degree programs in healthcare, business, and technology. It focuses on offering career-oriented programs in growing fields. The college is home to the oldest private Associate's Degree in Nursing program in western New York.[2]
