Mercy University[7] (Mercy NY), previously known as Mercy College, is a private research university with a main campus in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and additional locations in Manhattan and the Bronx.[8] It is a federally designated minority-serving institution and the largest private Hispanic-Serving Institution in the state of New York.[9] The university was historically affiliated with the Catholic Church, but has been independent and non-sectarian since the early 1970s, though it retains its historical affiliation with the Sisters of Mercy.[10][11]

The university has six schools and offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs, on campus and online.[12] Mercy University's 2025 Carnegie Classification has been designated as a Professions-focused Undergraduate/Graduate-Doctorate Medium.[13] Enrollment at Mercy University includes more than 8,500 undergraduate and graduate students representing 40 states and 51 countries throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America.[3]
