Medaille University was a private college in Buffalo, New York. The Sisters of St. Joseph founded Medaille in 1937, naming it after their founder, Jean Paul Médaille. It later became nonsectarian and coeducational.[2] The college served roughly 1,600 students, mainly from Western New York and Southern Ontario,[3] during its final years.
In May 2022, the Board of Regents of the New York State Department of Education approved Medaille College's request to be designated a university.[4][5] Due to ongoing financial and enrollment challenges, Medaille announced its closure effective August 31, 2023.[6]
