Independent, two-year coeducational institution founded in 1960 by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Felix (Felician Sisters) as a teacher-training center for its sisters in the education apostolate.

Established as an affiliate of the Catholic University of America; provisional charter issued in 1961 by the Board of Regents of the State of New York to grant Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees to women religious.
