Molloy College, located in the suburban village of Rockville Centre on Long Island, sits approximately 25 miles east of New York City. The private Catholic institution, founded by the Dominican Sisters of Amityville in 1955, operates from a 50-acre main campus featuring a mix of historic and modern buildings, including the Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing and the Public Square student center. The college's academic offerings focus heavily on nursing, business, education, and social work programs, with nursing being particularly well-regarded in the region. Molloy maintains a residential program with three campus dormitories, though many students commute from nearby Long Island communities. The institution competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Molloy Lions, primarily participating in the East Coast Conference.
