History

Originally named St. Joseph's College for Women, the college was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood under the leaders of their superior Mother Mary Louis in response to the need for a day college for young women. It is the only historical women's college in the borough of Brooklyn, NY. SJC received its provisional charter from the Regents of the University of the State of New York on February 24, 1916. After the college outgrew its original Brooklyn facilities at 286 Washington Avenue, it moved to its present site at 245 Clinton Avenue in 1918.[6] The college's first baccalaureate degrees were conferred on fourteen graduates on June 17, 1920, and the first valedictorian was Beverly Stubbenhouser. The college was accredited in 1928 by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The regents granted St. Joseph's College an absolute charter in 1929. Reverend William T. Dillon, J.D., professor of philosophy, served as dean of the college and later its president. St. Joseph's opened a laboratory preschool, the Dillon Child Study Center, in 1934 following several years of research in the field of child development. S. Vincent Thérèse Tuohy assumed the presidency in 1956. McEntegart Hall, a multi-functional building housing the library and classrooms, opened in 1965.[citation needed]

Sister George Aquin O'Connor was elected president and assumed responsibility on July 1, 1969. In 1970, a Charter amendment changed the name to St. Joseph's College and enabled the college to admit the first male students to full matriculation. On February 2, 1971, St. Joseph's inaugurated an extension program in the collegiate center formerly known as Brentwood College, and moved to develop a degree program in Brentwood, oriented to the third and fourth years of college. This Upper Division baccalaureate program opened in September 1972, and the Board of Regents of the State of New York authorized St. Joseph's College to join Long Island University C.W. Post Campus, in a Coordinate Campus program, the first such pattern adopted in the State. In 1976, this Suffolk County operation was authorized by the Regents to operate as a branch campus. In 1978, St. Joseph's College expanded its operation at the Suffolk Branch Campus to a full four-year program, and in 1979 moved to a 25-acre campus in Patchogue which includes a baseball field, two multi-story buildings that house classrooms, a multi-story research library, and a modern athletic facility that includes a convertible indoor sport floor, an indoor swimming pool, fully equipped weight rooms and several other offerings.[citation needed]

Since then, the Long Island Campus has expanded to include the Clare Rose Playhouse, the Callahan Library, the John A. Danzi Athletic Center, the 33,000-square-foot Business Technology Center, and most recently, the 24.8 acre, outdoor athletic facility. The Brooklyn Campus has expanded as well with the purchase of a five-story brownstone for staff and faculty office space, the purchase of St. Angela Hall Academy for additional classrooms, and plans for further expansion over the next 10 years, including a new athletic facility.[citation needed]

In April 2022, the New York State Board of Regents approved the name change from St. Joseph's College to St. Joseph's University.[7][8]

St. Joseph’s University offers degrees in over 50 majors, special course offerings and certificates, affiliated and pre-professional programs through its School of Arts and Sciences and its School of Professional and Graduate Studies, as well as 21 graduate degrees.[11] The university has 3,774 undergraduate students and 913 graduate students as of Fall 2021.[12] SJU has seen 9% enrollment declines since 2019.[13] Only 25% of faculty are full-time,[14] while the average for institutions offering master's and bachelor's degrees is 50%.[15]

Admission

Approximately 71% of applicants were admitted in 2020.[16] The SAT average is 1100, placing the student body at the 59th percentile of examinees.[17] The enrollment yield is 20.2%, indicating that 20.2% of students admitted actually choose to attend SJU.[18] The larger Patchogue campus fills a niche market in central Long Island juxtaposed against elite Stony Brook to the North and other large research institutions like Hofstra University to the West. It relies heavily on Suffolk County Community College for transfer students.
