Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) offers an alternative to traditional higher education models. The school's curriculum strives to integrate classroom learning with workplace experience so that students can more immediately see the purpose of their studies. The MCNY system encourages students to work full-time or participate in internships while attending school. Students can earn associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees in the areas of business, human services, education, and public administration. MCNY was founded in 1964 by social activist Audrey Cohen.

Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY), formerly known as Audrey Cohen College, is a college located at 431 Canal Street in New York City. The college also maintains offices at its previous location, around the corner, at 75 Varick Street.[2]
Academics
After a reorganization completed in September 2007, MCNY consists of two schools, The Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education, 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.
U.S. News and World Report's "Best Colleges 2010" roundup categorizes MCNY's admissions process as "less selective."[3]
