Academics

Medaille is structured similar to AMCC universities such as Penn State Erie and St. John Fisher College. The curriculum is patterned around Liberal Arts & Science foundations, which emphasize interdisciplinary coursework and private university standards. Within the past year, numerous faculty members have been awarded research grants through such organizations as the National Endowment for the Arts, National Science Foundation, and National Institutes of Health.

Campuses
Rochester campus in Brighton, Monroe County, New York

Medaille's main campus is located in Buffalo, New York, on a tree-lined urban setting at the intersection of New York State Route 198 and Parkside Avenue. The campus is within the Olmsted Crescent, a historic area of parkways and landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

Adjacent to Delaware Park and the Buffalo Zoological Gardens, the main campus is easily accessible by car, bus or Metro Rail. The College is served by the Humboldt-Hospital NFTA rapid transit station, and a circulator shuttle runs frequently between auxiliary parking at the zoo and campus. Medaille is close to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, the Buffalo Museum of Science, and the Buffalo History Museum.

In addition to the Buffalo campus, Medaille also has a branch campus in Rochester, NY. This campus offers undergraduate degrees for adult students in Business Administration, and graduate degrees in Business Administration and Organizational Leadership, as well as Mental Health Counseling.

Housing

Since the fall of 2001, Medaille has built two residence halls. The South Residence Hall offers double-occupancy rooms with bathrooms, free laundry facilities and computer stations. There are five floors located in the South Hall, but only Vet Tech students are permitted to live on the fifth floor. Student lounges overlook the campus and main building, as well as the Canisius and the Forest Lawn Cemetery. The North Residence Hall contains apartments for an overflow of resident students and is currently not in use.

Medaille College does not have any greek life.
