Continue your passions and interests at NU!
At Niagara University, we understand that it’s been an emotional rollercoaster with the heartbreaking announcement of Medaille University closing. We are here to help make this challenging transition as easy as possible for you. Niagara’s partnership with Medaille University for a Teach-Out agreement allows Medaille’s undergraduate and graduate students to stay on track with their academic path, graduate from Niagara University, and begin your career as you planned.
NU will help you continue to succeed and have incredible experiences. Our university has similar qualities to Medaille, like small class size and campus, and we believe you will fit right in.
We are ready to welcome Medaille’s Mavericks to campus and empower you with confidence, clarity, and a heightened sense of purpose as you soar into your future as a Purple Eagle.
* Limited Say Yes scholarships available. Please contact the undergraduate admissions office for more information.

As part of the Teach Out agreement between Niagara University and Medaille University, we will work to match all institutional financial aid you currently receive from Medaille.
This means it will never cost you more to earn your degree at Niagara University than you paid at Medaille – and it’s possible that your net cost of attendance could be less.
