“We are thrilled to be partnering with a fellow Catholic institution through this collaboration that will deliver higher education opportunities to the people of Orange County,” said Judith Huntington, President of The College of New Rochelle, in a statement. “We hope this will be the start of a strong connection between our schools and hope to be able to expand the program offerings to include additional graduate and undergraduate degrees in the future.”

Added John Dolan, Principal of Burke Catholic High School, “We are thankful for this opportunity to expand the reach of our school to serve our broader community in partnership with The College of New Rochelle to help aspiring students attain an advanced degree. This co-sponsored program represents the first of its kind in Orange County,”

The schools will host an information session about the MPA Program at the high school on April 16 at 6 p.m. John S. Burke Catholic High School is located at 80 Fletcher St. in Goshen.

From a press release about the program:

“The Archdiocese of New York is pleased to see this collaboration of two outstanding Catholic institutions which incorporates the unique resources of each to create a new endeavor that will provide advantages to not only the students who attend the program, but the people they ultimately serve as well, “said Dr. Joseph Gerics, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education in the Archdiocese of New York.
