Nazareth College is a private, co-educational comprehensive college. Founded in 1924, the College is situated on 94 wooded acres near the village of Pittsford, the current campus is comprised of 19 buildings, most connected by an underground tunnel system. In September, 2000, Nazareth contracted to purchase 73 acres of property and buildings adjacent to the campus, which has doubled the size of campus. A three-phase master plan is underway to utilize the new land in a way that will respond to the demand for a Nazareth education, a demand that has grown significantly along with the college's reputation for quality and value.
The College has an integrated 6 year Doctoral program in Physical Therapy for which students who have completed 12th standard can apply.
