History and Identity<\/h2>\n
Daemen University is a private, non-sectarian, co-educational, comprehensive university in Amherst, N.Y. Its attractive suburban location offers convenient access to the cultural amenities of metropolitan Buffalo and the scenic outdoor recreation areas of Western New York, the Niagara Frontier, and the Great Lakes. In addition, the university is near Canada, with cosmopolitan Toronto within easy driving distance.<\/p>\n
The university was established in 1947 as Rosary Hill College by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, which was founded by Magdalene Daemen, a Dutch woman dedicated to working with the poor. Her faith and courage have inspired many to give themselves to the service of others. The institution has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education since 1956 and last reaffirmed in 2016. Originally a liberal arts college for women, the institution became co-educational in 1971, extending its commitment to academic excellence to the education of both men and women. In 1976, the institution became independent and nonsectarian, changing its name to Daemen College. In 1992, New York State approved an amendment change to Daemen’s charter, authorizing the institution to award graduate-level degrees as well as baccalaureate degrees. In 2018, Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education elevated Daemen to the organization’s top tier classification\u2014doctoral university.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Daemen received approval from the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to change the institution’s name to Daemen University.<\/p>\n
Committed to an academic atmosphere that leads to open inquiry and debate, Daemen has achieved a creative balance between programs providing direct career preparation and a liberal arts education. Courses in the university’s majors and the general education curriculum encourage students to expand their horizons beyond the classroom through internships, clinical and field experiences, collaborative research with faculty, and study abroad programs. The general education program offers a broad and integrative educational experience that encourages students to explore new ideas and perspectives and prepares them with essential skills for life and careers.<\/p>\n
Mission Statement<\/h2>\n
The mission of Daemen University is to prepare creative, ethically-minded leaders for a diverse and interconnected world by integrating the intellectual strengths acquired through the liberal arts with the preparation necessary for professional excellence to make meaningful contributions to society.<\/p>\n
Vision<\/h2>\n
Daemen University seeks to become an institution of national distinction through recognized excellence in academics, co-curricular experiences, athletics, inclusion, and community service in an educational environment where all students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community partners are able to learn, grow and use their skills to create a better world.<\/p>\n
