Alliance University (formerly Nyack College (/ˈnaɪ.æk/ ⓘ) was a private Christian university affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance.[1] Located in New York, New York, the university offered undergraduate and graduate programs; in addition, it included Alliance Theological Seminary.[2][3][4][5]

In June 2023, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education announced that it would revoke the University's main accreditation in December 2023 due to the university's significant and ongoing financial challenges.[6] On June 30, 2023, the university announced that it would cease operations as of August 31, 2023.[7] The Christian and Missionary Alliance is exploring the possibility of continuing the seminary program.
