[edit] History
The college was founded as the Missionary Training Institute in New York City in 1882 by the Reverend Albert B. Simpson, a 19th century Christian evangelist and founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Simpson and his wife were buried on campus.[1] Nyack first received school accreditation in 1962 from Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
The northern part of the campus, and the public school behind it, are all part of the old Clarkstown Country Club.
[edit] Academics
Nyack offers undergraduate degree programs and graduate programs. The college structure is based on a "University-Model" and is broken down into six individual "schools": The School of Business, Computer Science, and Communications; The School of Education; The School of Music; The College of Arts and Sciences; The School of Adult & Continuing Education; and the Alliance Theological Seminary.
[edit] Extra-Curriculars
Nyack features a wide array of extracurricular involvement for students, including the radio station, student newspaper, yearbook, ministry teams and mission trips, chorale, wind ensemble, handbell choir, and student government.
[edit] Athletics
The school's sports teams are called the Warriors (formerly the Purple Pride and before that they were The Fighting Parsons). The teams participate in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference of the NCAA's Division II.
