Metropolitan College of New York

Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY), formerly known as Audrey Cohen College, is a private, non-profit college located at 60 West Street in Manhattan, New York City and a Bronx campus at 463 East 149th Street. MCNY consists of three schools, The Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education (named after Audrey Cohen), the School for Public Affairs and Administration, and the School for Business. The school follows the founder's Purpose-Centered Education philosophy. After a reorganization completed in September 2007, MCNY consists of three schools, The Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education, the School for Public Affairs and Administration, and The School for Management. Together, the schools offer undergraduate and graduate programs in Human Services, Education, Emergency Management, Business and Media Management. The highest degrees offered are master's degrees. The college follows founder Audrey Cohen's Purpose-Centered Education philosophy. In contrast to colleges and universities that organize the school year according to semesters, MCNY refers to each term as a "purpose". Each term's purpose, or unifying theme, drives the coursework for the term, which includes a Constructive Action (CA). CAs are unique clinical seminars in which students complete projects that combine classroom study with research-fieldwork projects that integrate lessons learned in all of the term's courses with hands-on experience
