St. Joseph's College for Women (as it was called then), was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood, NY in response to the need for a day college for young women. The College received its provisional charter from the Regents of the University of the State of New York on February 24, 1916. From its earliest days, the College articulated it mission in terms of academic quality, value orientation, and career preparation. These values, coupled with the financial support and the leadership of the Sisters of St. Joseph, brought early success and the College quickly outgrew its original facilities at 286 Washington Avenue. In 1918 the College moved to its present site at 245 Clinton Avenue, and the first baccalaureate degrees were conferred on twelve graduates on June 17, 1920. The College was accredited in 1928 by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Regents granted St. Joseph's College, New York an Absolute Charter in 1929. Reverend William T. Dillon, J.D., Professor of Philosophy, who served as Dean of the College and later its President, guided its growth during the significant years that followed. Having pioneered in the study of Child Development, St. Joseph's opened a laboratory pre-school in 1934. Sister Vincent Thérèse Tuohy assumed the presidency in 1956. Under her leadership, McEntegart Hall, a multi-functional building housing the library and classrooms, was opened in 1965; the Dillon Child Study Center followed in 1968. Sister George Aquin O'Connor was elected President and assumed responsibility on July 1, 1969. In 1970, a Charter amendment changed the name to St. Joseph's College, New York and enabled the College to admit the first male students to full matriculation. On February2, 1971, St. Joseph's College inaugurated an extension program in the collegiate center formerly known as Brentwood College, and moved to develop a degree program in Brentwood, NY oriented to the third and fourth years of college. This Upper Division baccalaureate program opened in September, 1972, and the Board of Regents of the State of New York authorized St. Joseph's College to join Long Island University C.W. Post Campus, in a Coordinate Campus program, the first such pattern adopted in the State. In 1976, this Suffolk County operation was authorized by the Regents to operate as a branch campus of St. Joseph's College. In 1978, St. Joseph's College expanded its operation at the Suffolk Branch Campus to a full four-year program, and in 1979 moved to a new twenty-five acre lake side campus in Patchogue.
