Acquisition and Closure of Marymount by Fordham University

In July 2002, Marymount officially consolidated with Fordham University, renaming the college as the Marymount College of Fordham University and becoming the institution's fifth undergraduate school. In 2005, Fordham University announced its plans to close the women's college, effective June 2007, but to keep the campus, which it renamed the Marymount campus, active as a center for graduate studies. Most of the 798 Marymount students will finish their education at the 25-acre Tarrytown, N.Y., campus, which, in recognition of the College’s history and heritage, will permanently be known as the Marymount Campus of Fordham University pending the University's decision of its plans to sell, or keep the property. The Westchester division of the multi-campus Fordham College of Liberal Studies, already housed at the campus, will continue and expand its liberal arts program. Over time, the professional school programs in business administration, social service and education will move their Westchester operations to the Marymount Campus. In the press release announcing the phase out, the Board of Trustees of Fordham emphasized that Marymount juniors and seniors who will graduate by spring 2007 will complete their degrees at Marymount College, while freshmen and sophomores will complete their degrees in programs offered at one of the other four undergraduate colleges of Fordham University, if they indeed decide to remain at Fordham.
