Continue your passions and interests at NU!
At Niagara University, we understand that it’s been an emotional rollercoaster with the heartbreaking announcement of College of Saint Rose closing. We are here to help make this challenging transition as easy as possible for you. Niagara’s partnership with College of Saint Rose for a Teach-Out agreement allows St Rose undergraduate and graduate students to stay on track with their academic path, graduate from Niagara University, and begin your career as you planned.
NU will help you continue to succeed and have incredible experiences. Our university has similar qualities to St Rose, like small class size and campus, and we believe you will fit right in.
We are ready to welcome St Rose to campus and empower you with confidence, clarity, and a heightened sense of purpose as you soar into your future as a Purple Eagle.
* Limited Say Yes scholarships available. Please contact the undergraduate admissions office for more information.
Complete the NU application so we can generate a Niagara University ID number for you.
Please make sure to select College of Saint Rose as your Transfer Institution. The process should take no more than 15-20 minutes.
