In 1947, Rosary Hill College was established by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity as a Catholic institution of higher education for women offering studies in the liberal arts. The institution has admitted men since the mid-1960s and graduated its first male student in 1965. In 1976, Rosary Hill became a secular and independent institution and was renamed Daemen College, in honor of the founder of the Sisters of St. Francis – Mother Magdalene Daemen, of Holland.
