IE New York College was founded as Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC) in 2017 by Glasgow Caledonian University, its founding sole member. The College was granted a charter by the New York State Education Department to award master’s degrees in the area of business and adopted its mission to teach a business curriculum in service of the Common Good and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
In July 2024, the sole membership of the College was transferred to IE New York College and GCNYC changed its name to IE New York College (IENYC). Globally renowned for social impact for business and ESG Education, IE University and IENYC have complementary purposes with a focus on driving positive change through education, research and innovation. The partnership between IE University and IENYC brings the College a renewed opportunity to expand its community and impact, continuing its work to grow business practices in support of a just and sustainable future.
