Maria College is a private Catholic college located in Albany, New York's capital city. Founded in 1958 by the Sisters of Mercy, the institution occupies an urban campus in the New Scotland Avenue neighborhood, with its main academic buildings centered around a historic former convent. The college specializes in healthcare and service-oriented programs, offering associate and bachelor's degrees with particularly strong programs in nursing, occupational therapy assistant, and healthcare management. Maria College maintains its historical commitment to providing career-focused education while serving as a commuter campus, though limited student housing options were introduced in recent years through partnership with local apartment complexes.
